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

    [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 51 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

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

    [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 19 points 1 month 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.

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

    [–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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

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

    Not gonna lie, that's concerning.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 month ago

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

    [–] ulkesh@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month 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 :)

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

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

    This image is edited, it's not a package

    [–] teft@lemmy.world 54 points 1 month ago (1 children)
    [–] gregor@gregtech.eu 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I must get the package as soon as someone makes it

    [–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 month ago

    LPT: In NixOS you can fix this by adding

    environment.systemAds.enable = false;
    

    to your configuration.nix file 😎

    [–] boredsquirrel 28 points 1 month ago (3 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.

    [–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] KellysNokia@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

    You mean RedHat?

    [–] superkret@feddit.org 20 points 1 month ago

    bro you need to upgrade to Ubuntu Pro!

    And in case anyone is wondering...

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

    [–] tsugu 25 points 1 month ago

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