this is actually how I convinced someone to want to install Linux. had my install stuff with me, as well as my official arch Linux clothes(you all know what those are). once the person saw the cuteness, the person suddenly wanted Linux very bad.

If that's what installing Linux is like I don't want to know what installing Windows looks like.
Also, in unrelated news, I'm now available for Linux installs..
I don't want to know what installing Windows looks like.
I'm pretty sure it involves slimy tentacles reaching into all your private areas/data.
don't forget the part where they put on the chains and weights and throw people down the 11 windows to hell. actually windows was meant to prevent people from falling there, yet people still kept using it, that is why every once in a wile they add a extra window, specifically designed in ways which they think would prevent people from trying to use it, yet still many do somehow. btw
They say it's a Gates'way to things, most unnatural...
i can install linux if anyone wants :3
c-can you come over to m-me? Linux is my OS already, but I'll wipe the ssd just for y-you... >///<
yeah you well overdue for a clean install ;)
The difference I think is mostly regarding consent. You’re getting fucked either way.
It's called pegging
don't worry all we're installing today is TempleOS...
I run Windows. Yeah, mm hmm,. Big Windows user over here and I have no idea what to do with this Linux thing or how to install it. When can you come over and install it for me? I'll get the wine. I hear wine and Linux leads to a lot of fun game play. Malbec ok?
bet :3
installing Tails on your usb 😏
universal serial bussy
how do I permanently preserve someone else's comment?
how do I delete someone else's comment?
Best way to out yourself as a furry
I never thought I'd use this ever again...
This one goes over my head ngl
I'm not surprised, that picture is from 2009. It's a play on an old Mac TV ad campaign and a long-standing stereotype in the furry fandom of fox fursonas being... very promiscuous.
That's... an interesting piece of lore lol
One thing I forgot to mention is that there were tons of memes like this with Linux as the third as well (or other random stuff, of course), so this is kinda relevant on all fronts.
Oh yeah, I have seen some of those
Those Mac vs PC ads need to return.
To be clear, you're on the right of the picture ? In this case, I guess you're installing Arch ?
Wow, didn't need to call me out like that. But yes.
Damn, I've been installing it wrong all these years. I might need some help.
Make my stupid game work!
Stop play stupid game. It stupid.
But what I want stupid prize?
Can't know cause can't play!
my stupid game
You sure?
I wish you installed linux on my machine way before I did in 2018.
thats not how it works
You're doing something wrong if this isn't part of your installation
thank you for the tip ; im a noob
I am unironically waiting on a new cpu cooler before im set for my first Linux build....
Remember to use protection and make sure everyone consents. Your first time can be exciting, but you need to be safe too. Have fun!
