2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

There must be something wrong with YouTube, because it says that was uploaded 18 years ago.
I know, right? Hey, did you see that there's a new Llamas with Hats?
That kills people!
Did you know that YouTube was originally created to document the Janet Jackson incident?
Wdym, it was actually uploaded 18 years ago.
I believe they are exhibiting denial that YouTube could possibly be old enough to have videos uploaded 18 years ago.
This denial is being done mostly in jest to cover the true, creeping, dripping, existential despair that so much time has passed, but at the same time to commiserate and laugh with others who are similarly affected. Drip, drip, tick, tick, tick.
Also, the video turns 19 in a couple of months. yaaaaay
Been using linux since 2006 and this is the first time I see an ad for it. Well done.
I remember suse making quite a few back in the days, some were pretty nice.
SUSE has an entire library of musical parodies. Some of them actually slap. This one is my favorite.
SUSE parodies remind me of when tech competition was actually fun. <3
fyi you probably wanna cut the parameter in url after video id as it may identify you
Thanks, I rarely share anything on my phone and I think I got lazy from relying on a browser extension to remove those. I appreciate the heads up.
IBM made ads for Linux in the beginning of the 2000s. Most were a bit weird.

Here's one with Sisko (Avery Brooks): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJA9eiUktcA
This ad was made just 2 years after you started.
The state of the internet today: you need a giant text with the punchline because otherwise people won't watch a 50 seconds sketch
maybe circle the overlaid punchline in red next time so I don't miss the joke
And add some Subway Surfers or Skylanders footage so I don't scroll away in the first half-second.
So will Microsoft, to their cloud.
geez that tux looks creepy af xD Love it!
Like that Panda commercial where it'd stare people down and then wreck their desks in a rage. Lmao
i just saw some commercial (don't remember about what) with a panda explaining the product and i thought exactly of the "don't mess with panda" spots xD
Who made this?
There are credits at the end
I still have more questions than answers.
lucky you. you have the Information Highwayยฉยฎโข at your fingertips
I gotta say, "living embodiment of Linux as a Christ figure" was not something I expected to see today.
I was hoping Tux would have a persona more like Dr. Cox, sweeping in nonchalantly to save the patient while badgering the interns for being incompetent
Linux is my personal savior. You can make a religion out if this!
This is one of those "it's so bad that it's good" movies. Love it.
Apparently, Linux can't even get people to spell 'losing' correctly.
It has me loosing my grammar correcting urges. X_X
Joke is allways funnier when you start with the point.
That way I know what is coming and won't risk having my expectations subverted.
As we know, surprise is a comedy killer.
OH MY GOD!
Shit. You scared me!
Honestly don't get the joke
There is a difference between macOS and Linux.
Yes, MacOS is corporate surveillance crap and Linux isn't.
Took the words out of my mouth. I mean they weren't in there, but I am glad you said it for us.
*If you install a light weight distro close to the mainline ones.
