Mark my words. There will be Linux that does this and it will be the most popular distro.
Ubuntu has that dumb subscription to get security updates that pushed me away. Sure it was free for personal use, but I don’t want to have to give my personal information to get updates that are created primarily by volunteer open source developers anyway.
I don’t understand what’s the bonus of suscribing for those updates. Are they better or come before everyone else gets them?
What do you think canonical should charge for? They do put a ton of work into the linux eco system
Entirely seriously:
Such as what exactly?
… Developing… Snaps?
Like, no, really, what do they do?
Are they why GNOME devs are insufferable?
???
Y’know…this. I might not like it, and many of their choices are… questionable…
…but I think it’s good we have some effort coming from full-time career paid Linux developers, rather than just sponsorship money from FOSS-leeches like “mEtA” and “aMaZoN.”
By simply not using Ubuntu, and ignoring the MOTD on my VM servers…I don’t really feel affected by their actions in any meaningful way. And that makes me happy.
As opposed to having to just accept whatever new footgun Microsoft wants to blast users with next.
Turn On Linux Backup Sign-in to your Linux Account to automatically save your Desktop, Documents, and Pictures to TuxDrive!
THIS would have me screaming
Best I can do is:
You must activate Linux within 30 days.

But I jus need to look at this cute virus real quick
Is that even some particular kind of actual instruction set, or just gibberish that would cause something like a fork bomb?
I guess it is a base-d virus though, 64 ways to sunday…
surprised its not just Conky.
If I were in charge of a distro I’d push this as an update on April Fools Day
Which is part of why I’d be a bad pick for the position XD
The commit will never be allowed😂
“Microsoft has reached a deal to purchase Linux”
“Linus Torvalds sold his share of Linux to Microsoft for $1.8B”
What a horrifying timeline that would be!
You’re too late. The rebellion has flown away.
RHEL?
Fedora has a Gnome Shell extension that adds Fedora over the wallpaper.
Shouldn’t be hard to make your dreams a reality
Please provide your address, email address, phone number, and a scan of your ID card to activate Linux.
Oh, you have more than 4GB of RAM? Looks like the Linux Starter Edition subscription won’t be enough for you. You’ll need to upgrade to Linux Pro Home Studio with Copilot Standard for $35 a month
Maybe your bank login just in case.
Zorin OS is (last I checked) not free for the full version. IDK how they enforce that considering they are still open-source, but you can only get Zorin OS Lite for free. You have to pay to get the full OS. I’ve just always found that funny.
sudo activatedone
systemctl disable activationcheck.servicePermission Denied
systemctl mask activationcheck.service
Dear God, that would wake me up sweating
I want a wallpaper.
It hurts to download something from Limewire. Every time. I am aware that it is not the same place where an album was actually 4000 viruses anymore but I still react instinctively.
I’m pretty sure there’s a GNOME extension for it as well.
There’s a Mac version labeled (horrific). So many levels to unpack there.
Cool thanks. 👍
WOO.
