I literally thought about this while eating spaghetti. And then I proceeded to contact Brave and we signed a deal where they agreed to send me thousands of dollars to make this ad, I mean a meme, and only post it on a single lemmy community.

As a fellow Ubuntu user, I think there are distros that are technically superior. But at some point I just got tired of chasing the best option. I just want an operating system that works on all devices I install it to, and that listens to my commands. Ubuntu does that just fine. I love what they've done with GNOME, its ram usage is minimal (1.4GB), apps launch fast, snap is nicer to use than flatpak (which I can install with a single command), and if I wanted to I can stick to an LTS for up to 12 years.

Manufacturers install Windows as the default OS. And it's safe to assume that a modern gaming PC would have W11 pre-installed.

Linux Mint. I made the logo seem worn down as to indicate that the USB has been used a lot.

You can change the icon theme in the settings to a color one. That's what I always do. The scaling can be changed as well.

May I ask what are some of the arcane options supposed to be?

Literally every meme I've ever made was done in GIMP. I can say that the software needs non-destructive editing that applies to transforming layers. So far there's only non-destructive effects on the layers, but discarding 20 years of work because the software is not a 1:1 copy of Photoshop seems silly.

It's worth mentioning that GIMP is mainly developed by two developers. If you wish for the development to be faster, you should consider donating.

That's what I used to think as well actually. I opened it, saw the airplane control center, and closed it. But then I volunteered for editing a photo for my school, and I had to learn how to effectively create borders around the text, as I would have to makes a lot of changes to them. So I searched and came across this video. And then I understood that GIMP is actually a really powerful tool, you just have to learn how the developers intended you to work with it. Admittedly, having to use the drop shadow feature for text borders is pretty retarded, but it lets you fine tune the how the end result will look.
