Well, well, well. 😑
Bill Gates was friends with Jeffrey Epstein. Guess who wasn't? There is a picture of Linus Torvalds below, wearing a black sweatshirt.

True story 🤣
This picture shows an Uno-themed meme where a card says, "remove snap from ubuntu," to which a bald man named Canonical holds all of his cards. I still don't understand how this game works, so pardon me if this alt text came out jank af.

I sense an impostor among us. 🧐
When you're a Windows user and you want to slide into a Linux conversation. There is a picture of a group of penguins with a tuxedo cat among them.

Wait, did I wake up just in time for Year of the Linux Desktop? ⁉️😱
When you try Windows 11 after using Linux for years: The image depicts a bald, bespectacled man in a white lab coat leaning toward the camera in what appears to be a hospital or medical examination room. He wears a green shirt and tie and has a serious, clinical expression, as if addressing someone lying down. Behind him, slightly out of focus, stands a nurse in a white uniform near pale green privacy curtains. The low, tilted camera angle makes the viewer feel like the patient, giving the scene a sterile, tense, and mildly unsettling atmosphere, as though difficult news is being delivered. (this text via LLM) The doc says this: I'm afraid it's been 9 years.

Why the Red Hat? This is why. 🤠
DID YOU KNOW? The name Red Hat originated from a Cornell lacrosse cap worn by co-founder Marc Ewing, who became known in his college computer lab as the helpful “guy in the red hat.” Ewing later partnered with Bob Young, a computer supply entrepreneur, to incorporate the company and bring his Linux distribution to a global audience. There is a picture of Marc and Bob standing side-by-side donning red hats in some rad af anime pose on the right.

Thoughts? 🤔
The first slide shows a cocky-looking handsome man with an older Ubuntu logo on his jacket ooking at an older picture of his with an even older Ubuntu logo, saying "Better Times, huh?" The second slide shows the same man but with the current Ubuntu logo, with his lips shut. The man pictured here is Chris Evans.

Linux can be very hardcore sometimes. 🗿
FOSS Community: Linux is very user friendly. Linux: [rootfs ]# exit ERROR: Failed to mount the real real root device. Bailing out, your are your own. Good luck. sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

Well, well, well, how the turntables. 😏
DID YOU KNOW? Microsoft used to be against Linux, but now they are one of its biggest supporters. Since most of their Azure cloud runs on Linux, they now spend millions to help develop and secure the kernel. They even built Linux directly into Windows with WSL. FOLLOW US IT’S FOSS

Microsoft when you use Windows: There is a picture of a victorian-era (i might be wrong) boy demanding something called "your data" to from someone.

You made the right choice by opting for Linux and I am proud of you for that. 🥹
If you used to do this *blurry logo of Windows 11* And now you do this instead: *clear as heck picture of Tux, the mascot of Linux* You are making PROGRESS. (in green)

Very true 🐧
There are four panels to this meme. In the first two, a bearded man is seen saying, "Hi, I want to install your OS on my computer". To which two people, Apple and Microsoft say this, "NOO! You must pay me $10 then sign up for an account and consent to us stealing all yoour data and looking through your files!!!!! In the last two, the same bearded man is seen asking the same thing to another bearded man, who replied with, "Done". This new man has Tux, the mascot of Linux, and the logos for Arch Linux, Debian, and Ubuntu behind him.

To all veteran Linux users out there: name one mistake you made in your Linux journey so a beginner doesn't repeat it. There is a picture of a man below looking all pensive with a long sword in his left hand and a sky full of stars in the background.
