Don't be elitist. You were a noob once, and someone helped you along the way.
The more people who leave corporate platforms, the better. Punch up, not down.

The FOSS community is awesome, if you hang out on the right IRCs.
The people who voulenteer in the irc chats of the Linux mint help I talked with were so chill and helpful

The meme is poking fun at elitism.
Ah, ok. I'm a bit neurodivergent, so I sometimes miss the tone of memes.
Last sentence shows you're the real hero.

sudo touch grass
I love this image too much
command not found: touch
What the hell kind of setup are you working with that doesn't have touch?
One could say they are out of... touch. π

While yβall were beating your chests over PC operating systems, I was simply browsing lemmy on my phone.
I know this is a joke but I genuinely get annoyed by people who seriously believe this.

As a 20 year Linux user I cringed at this.
Exactly the same, what kind of lame bs is this, the best thing about the Linux community is that people help each other, not for money or fake internet points, but because they are good people.
That's the purpose
As a 2 week arch Linux user I related to this meme. In fact I might incorporate this into my personality.

I hope the point is that it is as idiotic as the original. WTF did the original guy study the blade for, if not to protect other people from the barbarians ? Is he really so bad at the blade he can only protect himself ? Then I guess maybe he really did need to train all that time after all π
Windows is the virus.
I find it amussing that tech bros think the average home user will care.... They'll keep using Win 10 like nothing has changed. I knew people still happily using XP in 2014...
This isn't the original image and that sword doesn't really look like it goes with that scabbard. Did someone recreate/enhance the image with AI?

For those who aren't already aware, you can continue to get Windows 10 security updates after EOS, as well as updates for legacy windows systems, with 0patch. That's what I plan on doing. https://0patch.com/
I thought they specifically planned to end the security updates to force people to use win11

Yeah? No looking it up, give me a bash script for a ping scan of a subnet with a 24 bit mask.

Why is everyone so sure that W10 support ending will have its users stampede towards Linux? I think most users don't care about support and will happily run an outdated OS. They'll probably switch to Apple if they are concerned with that. Am I being too pessimistic?
We will get thousands more new users at least and I saw a poster in my local university about a install linux on your pc event.

It doesn't help that win10 support ending doesn't mean your device will immediately die. It means that you'll probably face some kind of consequences at some point in the following year and years to come, which is too hand-wavey for most people.

Support for mine ended the day I unplugged it from the net 4 years ago
I think widows is the virus
Excel is basically a bunch of CLIs.

Also GIMP skills, not to be mistaken with gimp skills (tho there is some overlap in users).
Wait, was the scabbard always curved in this image?
