This meme is old enough to drink.
I tried to drink it but nothing happened? Maybe next year

You must have a Mac.
Not exclusively, but yes. I feel called out.
Did you just admit to drinking an underaged meme?!
I was curious so I checked.
Aqua OS X logo is 2001-2007.
MS Vista - 7 Logo is 2006-2020.
Seems like you are correct it if the meme creator used the most recent logos at the time. So 17 or 18 years old.
It’s almost too old for Leo to date.
whos Leo
Decaprio
oh that guy, everything makes a lot more sense now
18 years old is old enough to legally buy alcohol.
Really depends on where you are.
Most of Europe the age is 18. Some countries goes as low as 16. In North America, in Canada it is 18 for 3 provinces, in the USA it depends on the state. Puerto Rico is 18. Mexico it’s 18. Nearly all of South America it is 18 with a couple of exceptions where it is 16 and one case where it is 20. Most of Africa it is 18. Asia is mix but China it is 18.
So in the vast majority of places, my initial statement that 18 is old enough to legally buy alcohol was correct.
lol right! I think that’s Windows Vista’s logo too not Windows 7

I don’t think Windows user disagree with privacy per se. IMO, it’s more that they believe the lie that privacy is a myth, despite the fact it was had in abundance hardly more than a decade ago.

That’s certainly a conclusion to jump to.
I don’t have anything to say about Apple users, because I don’t know anything about them. I do however have things to say about Windows users, having been one my entire life up until a few years ago.

No! Always make assumptions! They make conversations faster!

If my experience in the heavy industry is any indicator, windows users believe that green crayons taste the best.
MacOS is a great os, and it comes with solid hardware. If you use your laptop for anything except gaming, and you can pay premium, a mac is a really good choise. Also, it’s a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that’s a thing that a lot of people do.

Given that’s actually the only way to do it… (Without resorting to jumping through hoops via emulation)
And that is why my code will never be multiplatform. No way I’m going to sink several thousand dollars for a machine I will never use except as part of my build pipeline.

Mac mini $500 and refurbs are cheaper.
There is always a third really obscure way to do things
I’ve switched my laptop from an XPS machine to an M1 Pro MBP, and it’s genuinely been one of my best purchases. I can easily do my work for an entire day, and more often than not, I can spend like 3 nights in a row watching something in bed too. Not to mention that it doesn’t run like a furnace, even under load
I used my 2010 MacBook Pro for about 10 years before I decided to buy a new one (no longer supported by Apple). It ran great too, for being 10 years old.
MacBooks are great. You can still run Linux on it if you still want to use the hardware.
Or you can try OpenCore Legacy Patcher.
I’m waiting for Linux support to come to iPads. I have an older iPad I would love to see Linux on.

Idk why people say “pay a premium”. MacBook Air is like $1000 bucks. Other laptops are also in this range.
Also, you’re never going to spend a second worrying about making the thing work or fixing an error. Even Windows requires fixing problems and installing drivers sometimes. I guess it depends on how you value your time. I’ve spent hours on linux and windows troubleshooting. I’ve never spent a second on macOS.
Not all people can afford a $1000 laptop, and in most countries, it’s considered as a really big price

LOL ONE BUTTON MOUSE
deleted by creator
The “pucks” definitely were terrible, but they had one button mice in the “classic” Mac times too and people were always using that as an example of how Macs are baaaaaad
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
Lol ok
I am self aware enough to know that I am an idiot, but still use Linux and Windows.
Take that, flow chart!

2024 version: Are you an idiot? Windows Do you swim in money? Mac No? Linux
Wait I’m an idiot who has a life. Why am I on Linux?
I’m not sure there’s a way to answer that without being unnecessarily mean.
Just call me a penguin fucker and get it over with…
Well, it’s a life, I guess…
cus ur not in 2005 anymore so linux is a usable os for most people
Stop bragging 😤
Team spirit
For accuracy, flip Windows and Mac in that diagram
Thank you, my twitch is now subsiding.
I would switch MacOS and Microsoft. You really have to be an idiot to install that malware onto your computer voluntarily. MacOS is much safer and if you still have the need for shenanigans you have a Unix terminal to play with.
you have to be an idiot to pay that much for something that locked down and unserviceable.
Weird you’re getting downvoted. I mean, they’re not literally idiots, sure, but macOS and Windows are both terrible options. Seems to be a lot of Apple fanboys in the comments.
It’s stable and works with most commercial software. I have homebrew that I use to install gcc and whatever else I need, and I have yet to experience an answer on a Linux forum not being directly applicable when I need to solve a problem. Best of both worlds if you ask me.
One does not simply install windows. It comes preinstalled
Pretty sure most homemade consumer computers are installing Windows. 70/30 tops.
(Maybe up to 50/50 if you don’t count professionally built custom PCs)
the amount of mold…
needs more
I’ve used Mac OS since 1988, BSD/UNIX since 1990, Linux since 1993 and Windows since 1995.
Due to my expertise with all these operating systems, I make enough money to have a life.
I predominantly use Apple hardware, partly because I can easily run all these OSes on it.
The Intel “cheese grater” pros were a dream multi-boot machine. EFI, clean, capable of great RAM, nice drive bays, dual ethernet.
At least Mac is genuinely UNIX. 🙃
“… I know this!”
And she DID
So wait… Since I use both linux and a mac I’m a no life idiot? Yep, checks out.
I have a life and that’s why I use Linux because I don’t have 3h to wait for a single forced windows update
