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

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

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 48 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 5 points 3 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.

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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.

LPT: In NixOS you can fix this by adding

environment.systemAds.enable = false;

to your configuration.nix file 😎

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Urist@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Lol i ate the onion then. Nice one.

[–] HStone32@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] KellysNokia@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

You mean RedHat?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 100 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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)

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 :)

[–] tsugu@slrpnk.net 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not gonna lie, that's concerning.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 15 points 4 days ago

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

bro you need to upgrade to Ubuntu Pro!

[–] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 61 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 54 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This image is edited, it's not a package

[–] teft@lemmy.world 53 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I must get the package as soon as someone makes it

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 25 points 5 days ago

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

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 26 points 5 days ago (5 children)

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.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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.

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

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 33 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] tsugu@slrpnk.net 25 points 5 days ago

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