    I cannot even download Windows 11 ISO on my network, I am (my ISP is) blocked by Microsoft. So, problem solved, it's just red USB.

    [–] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 2 points 34 minutes ago

    How did that happen?

    You take the green USB, it's Ventoy.
    You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it's GParted.

    Ah, shit, TempleOS.

    Yes, I have TempleOS on my drive, why not, it's just a few MB.

    People that chose the "red" drive ... Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, ... well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed ~~pills~~ drives for different distros and the ominous warning be like "you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit".

    Linux Mint: The Better Ubuntu (tm)

    [–] Starbuncle@lemmy.ca 1 points 30 minutes ago* (last edited 30 minutes ago)

    I found that Pop!_OS (another Ubuntu fork) worked better with Nvidia crap out of the box. They both seem pretty good.

    [–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 1 points 37 minutes ago (1 children)

    Never heard of it. If its so good you would think someone would be talking about it.

    [–] Raptorox@sh.itjust.works 1 points 34 minutes ago (1 children)

    You can't be serious, can you?

    [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago

    Pretty sure that's a joke, Lemmy's in love with Mint.

    [–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 5 hours ago

    That red USB looks exactly like my Linux installer one, recently upgraded to Mint 22!

    [–] prenatal_confusion 57 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

    Talk to your kids about Linux before someone else does.

    [–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 3 points 5 hours ago

    Sex PSAs are nothing in comparison

    [–] fluxion@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

    I use the exact same usb stick for my Ubuntu installs. 🤜

    [–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 45 points 13 hours ago

    [–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 60 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

    Ubuntu logo is a trinity but you're not getting laid

    The rest of us should just do what the transbians do and sleep with each other.

    L4L, must have showered and touched grass within the last 24 hours.

    Closest you’re gettin’ to any action this weekend is givin’ the dairy cow’s teets a good scrubbin’.

    Dude, you're getting a dell ...

    [–] Mwa@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

    Bruh dell maintains dkms in linux (kernel driver management thingy)

    [–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 49 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

    And plugging highly suspicious USB drive into it...

    [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 31 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

    Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left "mystery" USB drives with media from the "future", themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn't wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.

    [–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 26 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

    The next album is gonna be about, trojans, viruses, worms, RATS (not the one with the rubber room)

    And a 40minute PSA from your IT admin telling you DONT PLUG RANDOM STUFF INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!

    [–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 6 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

    Once some guy on the street gave me a dvd. I stuck it into my computer and it was a documentary about how nfc payment microchips in the hand are the mark of the beast. Freaked me out.

    [–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

    At some point there was a trend where people were putting usb sticks into walls and encouraging people to plug in to them.

    same thing that's wrong with every brand name.

    Man, I thought the dude did something really bad but he just got accused of buying weed imagine getting cancelled over an accusation

    [–] Cenzorrll@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

    That was they're slogan back in the day.

    [–] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 15 hours ago

    Why are both of the USB drives red?

    [–] DmMacniel 73 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

    Because choice is an illusion.

    [–] SirHery@lemmy.world 17 points 11 hours ago

    Both are Linux.

    [–] papacraw@lemm.ee 21 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

    How come with bsd it's more of a dig your own hole sort of adventure?

    [–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 45 minutes ago

    Depends on how fond you are of shark attacks

    Love the technology field hand writing

    [–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 42 minutes ago

    It's rare, it's bad, but it's also adequate and it does the job.

    [–] 2pt_perversion@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

    TempleOS is the rabbit hole usb.

    [–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

    If you get caught using that ...
