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 ;)

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"

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 :)

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?
as real as apple's privacy claims
But they told the FBI to fuck right off with their bullshit! Listen Tim Apple is one of the good ones. /s

LPT: In NixOS you can fix this by adding
environment.systemAds.enable = false;
to your configuration.nix file 😎

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.
