For those who don't remember the original of this was an ancient meme:

https://images1.memedroid.com/images/UPLOADED6/5002dd114f5cd.jpeg

Edit:

Just how old this meme is: OSX 10.9 mavericks was the first free mac update, it was released in 2013. The meme should be created before that. Iirc Windows 7 was the first win with forced and annoying updates, it was released in 2009. So this meme should be from that era, 11-15 years old.

Edit2:

I found the original post, my calculations were correct, this is from 2011: https://www.stickycomics.com/computer-update/

I use linux and I'm in the Not Again boat. Seems like everytime I update, something goes wrong

[–] infeeeee@lemm.ee 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Use debian oldstable, usually 1-2 security updates each months, nothing else. If you need a newer app, install it as flatpak, they can't bork your system.

Stable is already ancient enough, but willingly running oldstable? I hope you've got a shovel ready

I thought I had a virus when I got a pop-up about Ubuntu pro. I thought all linux was free and there's no way I'd be getting ass for features I don't have

Not with that attitude

Ubuntu pro is completely free for non-commercial users tho

(probably the most downvoted post i've made yet on lemmy 😂)

What are the distros that would align with these categories?

Cool, more free stuff:

Not again!

Ooh, only Ubuntu pro:

I'm an annoyed fedora user and it seems every day there's an update that requires reboot to install. I want the latest patches to keep the system secure, but this is annoying, and I use 2 laptops.

Crashes are just the system telling me to restart. As god intended.

Hm, I want to pull the trigger on nixos

[–] BRBWaffles@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I'd be willing to help you get started.

What does Ubuntu Pro get you besides extended support after the normal OS EOL?
