- First you pay money to Canonical, and then you load the disc into the PC.
- Animal noises and bongo drums play for some reason and you’re presented with an orange game menu.
- You click on one of the squares stacked clumsily on the left and nothing happens.
- You click it again and it drags with your mouse up the hierarchy.
- Finally, it lets go and a big white square fills the screen, knocking you off your chair.
- A popup window spawns from an empty corner and informs you that there are 25 packages that can be updated.
- Daunted by the unending onslaught, you curl up into a ball and weep
Microsoft Windows ME is the Battletoads of operating systems.
The final boss is acknowledging the hubris of believing you could ever win.
That final boss is easy. Just do Ctrl+Alt+Del, and then start killing all processes one-by-one until you get the blue screen of victory
Blue screen of victory?
Fuck, I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time! 😂🤣
Seems relevant: https://youtu.be/nhv5uv6Na_A
That’s extremely relevant LMFAO! 👍
BTRFS deciding it’s corrupt and refusing even read only access.
Edit: You beat it by trashing the disk, using any other file system, restoring from backup and accepting any losses.
The final boss was Arch in the early days.
The boss fight was troubleshooting your display settings in Xorg.conf blindly, because you didn’t have any screen output after an update.UNIX: rename your NIC to something human readable
Blue screen of death and you defeat it by installing linux.
Then how do you defeat the new bsod in the Linux kernel? It’s got a fancy QR code!!
(It’s “install bsd” isn’t it…)
That looks purple to me, clearly not a BSOD.
For real though, a QR code for a kernel panic? 🤦♂️
Where my freebsd homies at
Tsch, that’s the opening sequence.
“You have broken free! Now what do you want to do?”
The final boss of Windows is to crowbar out a metric shitton of bullshit and you do it with a bunch of registry tweaks and GPedit
Uninstall Skype
Mission accomplished. Synaptic is awesome, plus I wasn’t using Skype anyways.
windows 10: uninstall edge
windows 11: uninstall copilot
windows: uninstall
Windows 10 DLC just dropped. Copilot added from Windows 11.
Oh shit…!
The secret final boss is Windows ME though…
That game is too easy though, it crashes itself.
You need to escort it through a very large minefield to designated spot or it will explode obliterating everything.
We all know that CIA prison escape segment was harder than any of the bosses, though.
Love this Insert Credit type question
It would be General Failure reading the disc. I would fsck him up, and replace disc if necessary.
Yes, I know those may be different oses, but I was thinking multiplatform
Windows 11, the settings panel, a terrifying combination of old and new technology.
Win10, the updates that keep loading bloatware and undoing debloater
I literally only have it on a work laptop to keep os familiarity in my toolkit (tech)
Happy cry Linux mode activated… 🐧
Nvidia drivers. You beat it by ripping out your GPU and casting it into a volcano
Nvidia is Sauron confirmed.
