I might be an idiot, but I'm not going to use a Mac.

This meme also perpetuates the myth that to use Linux you must be an IT person. I just use it as a user.

This meme has the logos of the OSs from around 2007. Back then there weren't many Linux non-IT users.

I miss those old logos, the new ultra flat ultra simple logos are just so uninteresting compared to that era

I actually prefer the newer ones, i always hated the like shiny 3d type of look. However some companies/designers/whatever do a bit to much nowadays. ~~or should i say to little🤔~~

Ah. True. Thanks. Yes dark times with hardware compatibility back then.

This may be a hot take, but I don't think that on a linux specific meme community we should really care about what puts linux into a good light and what doesn't. I mean have you seen vegancirclejerk? We are here to laugh and that can be achived by self-deprecating humor or parodying what others think of our system of choice as well.

Yes. Sure. I see. Thanks. Maybe I was too focussed. Non IT people are nerdy too.

This meme is old enough to drink beer now - in the US
