I’m switching to Debian right away, this is nonsense
That’s it, I’m switching to Windows!
Windows 3.11 that is. The last pure Windows there was.
Joke’s on you. It’s basically a dos s shell.
Exactly, that means it hasn’t infected my entire system and is constantly connected and phoning home about my computer usage and browsing habits all day. I can just play Skifree and Minesweeper and not worry about a damn thing.
You forgot gorillas.bas you heathen ;)
It isn’t even connected to anything
Can we modernize 3.11?
Why modernize 3.11 when you can modernize OS/2 Warp instead?
My favorite bit of OS/2 snark from back then was “OS/2 = half an operating system”
Cause I don’t know what OS/2 Warp is. Is that IBMs?
Yes, it’s their OS from around the time. Was pretty good, worth playing around with a little, WinWorldPC has images if you’re interested. It can run I think Windows 3.0 as well inside the OS if I remember right?
Oooo thanks! I’ll take a look. I’m in the process of making a multiboot external drive.
Can’t modernise peak operating system
I’d just want a file explorer and Firefox to run. That’s all I ask for.
Now introducing UbuRecall! Do you remember what you clicked on yesterday?
We do!
make it film everything constantly but you have to pay to go back (time machines are expensive)
ObserveIT with extra steps.
You laught
Not gonna lie, that’s concerning.
It may of pissed a lot of people off. Yet people wonder why I have such a strong dislike of Ubuntu.
Is that real
Yes
💀
Yep, Unity DE had ads. Then people revolted and Canonical eventually got rid of them and also switched to base Gnome with some extensions.
It definitely happened, I saw it in real time on my install of Ubuntu. But they learned their lesson on this one, I feel.
Not sure why there are some who think this is still a thing, though.
Side note: I’ve not run Ubuntu as my desktop OS I’m quite some time, opting instead for Garuda as of late and have seen no ads thus far :)
It’s been this way for at least a decade.
Can you download package with ads for linux? It would be great pair with activate-linux.
This image is edited, it’s not a package
Not yet.
I must get the package as soon as someone makes it
and then install kde with windows 11 theme and post it on a subreddit about windows saying youre moving to linux
Chat is this real?
LPT: In NixOS you can fix this by adding
environment.systemAds.enable = false;to your
configuration.nixfile 😎
Just observing more than anything but this is the same kind of shit people say to leave windows because of.
It is a joke, there are no ads. I just wrote a fake command in the Nix syntax.
Lol i ate the onion then. Nice one.
I mean…
They have GUI system upgrades, this is kind of a pain in Debian
Okay, now I updated 12 laptops from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 and…
- it always hangs at “swap deb Thunderbird with snap”, like, always. 12 times.
- the wallpaper is gone after the upgrade, every single time
- there are like 10 buttons to click
- you need to be a sudo user (the updater shows but just vanishes when being a nonsudoer!)
- on 2 machines some random repo issues caused a silent error. Needed to
apt updatein the terminal, fixed - there are tons of snap packages, and all are outdated, yay! Installing those on a sudo account causes them to fail on the nonsudo account.
Damn this is bad. And this is like, the best of the best distros?
Doubt that. Fedora Atomic has way more potential, while only being user friendly as uBlue.
Every couple of years I think to myself “Ubuntu can’t be that bad, can it? I must be misremembering. Surely it’s just some combination of my memory exaggerating how terrible it was and my lackluster Linux skills, which have since improved. Everybody still recommends it as a beginner distro, right? Why’d I stop using it?”
And then I download Ubuntu.
And then I remember.
It works great as a quick and easy WSL module if you need to quickly patch the kernel of your embedded Linux device at work 🤗, well, maybe it would have been just as easy using just debian, to be fair 🤔
Ubuntu is very much NOT the best of the distros anymore.
I’ve been using Kinoite on one of my daily drivers, and so far I’m loving it.
I mean I could list you at least 5 things that kinda suck on Fedora Atomic. But yes the core principle is so much better.
I don’t mean to imply it’s perfect, but as a relatively popular distro to use as a daily driver, I’ve been happy with it overall.
You can install Synaptic in Debian. Problem solved? I love the terminal so this isn’t really my fight but you could spend some time to make Debian GUI-based if you wanted to.
Also LMDE exists, which Mint-ifies Debian and gives you a GUI option for basically everything you can imagine.
Pretty sure KDE’s Discover store hooks into Debian’s repos just fine too
Multiple reasons why this is not a good option.
- no fwupd
- no flatpak
- still requires sudo
- mint uses XOrg and is very limited
an alternate timeline, where Linus didn’t make Linux open source, got rich off of it, and sold it to IBM.
You mean RedHat?
bro you need to upgrade to Ubuntu Pro!
Needs more BonziBuddy
BonziBuddy! He was the best! Almost as good as the dancing baby.
And in case anyone is wondering…
BonziBuddy:
Dancing Baby:
BonziBuddy! I had completely erased that from my brain. Whoa!
But have you heard of todays sponser?
{Insert corprate shillery}
is that for real?
It is not
i never use Ubuntu so… Glad to hear it.
I daily drive it, and a lot of idiots lie about it because of minor philosophy differences. It’s sad.
Agreed. I was inspired to make this masterpiece while reading the comments on my previous meme.
I use their server distro’s all the time but i never liked the UI so I just dont bother.
Lmao
Is this real?
Not yet.
I feel like the choice of time of day (24hr clock) for the screenshot might have been an attempt at being prophetic.

This is one of those situations where explaining why I said what I said, when I said it, in the way that I said it, and bring into question whether I could have worded any of it better takes way more time than a glib aside. Something adjacent to the Bullsh*t Asymmetry principle, if not an instance.
Anyway, I was trying to encompass those folks who tend to set their system time to 12hr, and wasn’t really saying anything one way or the other about whether the person who made the screenshot (OP it seems) generally has their system set that way or not. It was more pointing out that having it be 24hr (or leaving it that way) makes the time look a bit like a year in the not-too-distant future (2028), and thus could form part of the date that is otherwise displayed.
It could be that the whole thing is a coincidence, but I was pointing out that it could have been part of the joke.

Somewhere similar happened a while back
It was more like this.
just install ublock
You mean ubuntuBlock.
No, just remove French language, all the ads are there.
uBO!!! ublock is unrelated!!!
Why the fuck are you using Unity? Or is that Gnome? Honestly I can’t tell them apart.
OP had Gnome in the picture, the commenters used Unity.
Ah, indeed. Appreciate the distinction 👍
