That explains so much
- # apt upgrade estrogen
  
  yum estrogen
  
  Do I have to enable backports for that package?
Which came first, the Linux or the egg?
- Egg. Next question.
  
  Who's on first?
Estrogen

AMD64

Where's ARM estrogen
- Asahi Estrogen™
- That's meant to be injected.
If it wasn't obvious that the Debian box is a parody, here's what the ~~Japanese~~ Chinese text along the top reads on each box:

Please read the instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of a physician. It is strictly prohibited to be used in food and feed processing.

Please read the installation instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of the administrator. It is strictly prohibited to use for server installation.

so yes, the title is correct-- this is not a coincidence, the Debian box was made explicitly for this joke

edit: thanks for the correction folks, honestly thought it looked more like Japanese than Chinese at first glance and I am obviously not an expert in either. Appreciate the call-out, very deserved.
- How do you identify it as Japanese? I see no hiragana or katakana, which is how I usually identify text as Japanese instead of Chinese.
  
  You see, he knew because he is wrong and it is indeed Chinese
  
  Yeah I got it completely wrong.
  
  because simplified Chinese characters borrowed many words directly from Japanese kanji, so google translate still recognizes it.
- Lol I can tell you just used Google Lens or some shit and then proceeded to make it sound like you knew what you were talking about by assuming it was Japanese (it's not).
  
  Yeah that one's on me. I did Google lens it, but I realized I had no hope of knowing what glyphs those were, I just assumed Japanese cause idk. But good call.
... you guys install it via USB drive or ... ?
- Good news ... it's a suppository!
  
  Universal Serial Butt.
  
  Oh, good.
  That's how I install Linux anyway.

  it's the lost city... of Atlanta
- Just apply the patch already.
On the right, a drug that takes estrogen.
- What is Estrogen?
  
  gamer hormones
  
  A hormone in the human body that's typically present in higher concentrations in females than males. Often given as HRT to trans women and post-menopausal women.
  
  Energy drink.
uk about to ban debian
- Indiana waiting for Texas and Florida to ban it so it can do something more extreme but without any flak.
- What?!?!?
OBGYNU/Linux
- Gynu ya'know, not unix
The plot thickens
- Dreamcast? Tivola?
  
  Oh no!
  
  Now I got the Tivola jingle stuck in my head. My very first PC game was a Tivola game. It seems they really fell from grace in recent years when looking at their website today.
- Soul Reaver or Naruto?
  
  Instructions unclear; unhinging jaw to consume ramen.
I suspected Debian users were soyboys and now I have the documents to prove it.
- They used to be soyboys but then they bought an ikea plushie.
  
  A specific IKEA plushie
“Progynova”.. that’s a really great name. Naming things is hard so I always appreciate a good name when I see one
- Could you elaborate on what makes the name a good one?
  
  I read it as pro-gyn-nova
  
  Pro: as in professional/effective
  
  Gyn: woman (from Proto-Indo-European *gwen), like in gynocology
  
  Nova: new (in many romance languages)
  
  It rolls off the tongue and encapsulates three important aspects. I'm sure there are other readings of it too.
  
  Ah, other commenters beat me to saying what I was going to say regarding the semantics.
  
  But also, it’s a unique artificially created word. Nobody is going to confuse it for anything else (granted, that might get murky with pharmaceuticals). It’s searchable with any piece of software that does simple string matching. Also, it isn’t itself a constituent of some other longer word, which helps with that kind of thing too.
  
  The spelling of the word is also phonetically logical. Being a new artificially created word, they could’ve spelled it however they wanted, but they chose the spelling that reads how it sounds. Very few people are going to hear it spoken and misspell it if they’re typing it into some device.
  
  Yeah.. that sums it up
  
  In my opinion, it ends in nova and the transition from prog to nova with the y is just 🤌
There is a reason a lot of trans girls use Debian.
- I use both kinds of Debian ig. Planning to switch to Gentoo
Damn it i hopped to fedora
Free template in a dtp program?
does this mean that debian deletes estrogen? Or does it provide testosterone, the spiral is reversed, so surely that'll have some effect right?

Maybe this is one of those cases where the estrogen is just put in the package backwards.
Just making people aware of my presence...
