That's it, I'm switching to Windows!

[-] [email protected] 49 points 6 days ago

Windows 3.11 that is. The last pure Windows there was.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago
[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

Why modernize 3.11 when you can modernize OS/2 Warp instead?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

My favorite bit of OS/2 snark from back then was "OS/2 = half an operating system"

Joke's on you. It's basically a dos s shell.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

But they told the FBI to fuck right off with their bullshit! Listen Tim Apple is one of the good ones. /s

Now introducing UbuRecall! Do you remember what you clicked on yesterday?

We do!

[-] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago

make it film everything constantly but you have to pay to go back (time machines are expensive)

ObserveIT with extra steps.

[-] [email protected] 37 points 5 days ago

LPT: In NixOS you can fix this by adding

environment.systemAds.enable = false;

to your configuration.nix file 😎

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Just observing more than anything but this is the same kind of shit people say to leave windows because of.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

It is a joke, there are no ads. I just wrote a fake command in the Nix syntax.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Lol i ate the onion then. Nice one.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago

an alternate timeline, where Linus didn't make Linux open source, got rich off of it, and sold it to IBM.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

You mean RedHat?

[-] [email protected] 71 points 6 days ago
[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

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 :)

[-] [email protected] 25 points 5 days ago

Not gonna lie, that's concerning.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago

It may of pissed a lot of people off. Yet people wonder why I have such a strong dislike of Ubuntu.

Can you download package with ads for linux? It would be great pair with activate-linux.

[-] [email protected] 54 points 6 days ago

This image is edited, it's not a package

[-] [email protected] 53 points 6 days ago
[-] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

I must get the package as soon as someone makes it

[-] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago

and then install kde with windows 11 theme and post it on a subreddit about windows saying youre moving to linux

[-] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago

bro you need to upgrade to Ubuntu Pro!

[-] [email protected] 26 points 6 days ago

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 update in 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.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

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.

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.

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.

i never use Ubuntu so...... Glad to hear it.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 6 days ago

I daily drive it, and a lot of idiots lie about it because of minor philosophy differences. It's sad.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago

Agreed. I was inspired to make this masterpiece while reading the comments on my previous meme.
