Year of the Linux desktop:

I laughed and then was surprised by the comments. Damn, tough crowd. I didn’t think OJ jokes would still be so touchy in 2026.

Yeah, being able to google stuff that’s not working has been a lifesaver for me. Or (and I know it’s not popular here) taking a snippet of some confusing output and giving it to an AI to have it explain what things mean.

I just picked a random image of packages being updated.

Or if you mean the Star Trek image, it’s from an episode where Uhura and Spock are trying to fix one of the consoles on the bridge. ‘Who Mourns for Adonais’ season 2, episode 2.

The boot sequence is what I was picturing originally, but I didn’t know how to word that cleanly for the meme, lol.

I’m trying! There’s a lot.

Unintentional, but that’s funny. I think I played a Lemmings demo sometime back in the 90s, but not enough to remember any specifics.

…but I actually like GNOME!

There are quite a few customization options for it too.

It really is. Every time I think “Hey, it would be cool if my desktop could have [blank]”, I look it up and someone has already had that idea and built it.

That’s the one!

I can’t remember the name of it, but there’s one type of inexpensive small truck that I see people wishing for in the US constantly. Very utilitarian and barebones function over form. That would be a good fit.

I don’t know the context of the pic, but that’s Elizabeth Olsen.

Congrats on dating Elizabeth Olsen!

Welcome!

I remember a LOT of people giving up gaming entirely during the transition to 3D because of this. That was when a lot of the people who experienced the arcade era stopped keeping up.

And somehow in Windows they managed to make people pay for it and be the product.

Counterpoint:

I’m no expert, but I believe there are some distros with paid support (intended for corporate clients).

They used to not work well as uploads (and/or I just didn’t know what I was doing), but since this one seems fine, maybe I’ll start posting them more. I don’t really have a smooth process for creating gifs on my phone.

It’s too late…
