You da real MVP
Thank you for sharing! I have added your link to the body of my post.
Linux users, united?
People in this community will cry over what init system or desktop environment somebody else uses.
Yeah, because they have the freedom to even make those choices in the first place, lmao.
You can be united under democracy and by necessity still disagree over different ideas
get out of here with your moderate, nuanced viewpoint!
Listen “friend”, I don’t take kindly to you critiquing my choice in text editor like that when you’ve clearly chosen a slightly different one. I think it might be best if you just move along.
Manjaro and ZorinOs instead of EndeavourOS and Bazzite is criminal.
Where’s the flag for Hannah Montana Linux
Right next to TempleOS
Plot twist, they were with the axis powers
Dang it, now I have to do a reverse Italy.
United my ass
United in their disdain for windows maybe
Why is Cent OS there? It’s dead.
But his soul is marching on…
Very ironic use of war propaganda, considering that Microsoft’s market model is closer to the colonial powers that usually use this format - and the fact that linux often attracts anarchists due to its open, collaborative design.
Is there specific war propaganda this is mirroring? Propaganda isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s very helpful in revolutionary resistance movements. Is this mirroring something specific or are you just talking about the aesthetics of it?
It’s a well-known propaganda poster from WW2.
Union Jack represented multiple times
🤔
Yes, how did those pesky English manage to add their symbol to all these other flags?
British, not English.
Cool. So it’s the good propaganda.
Famously, peaceful movements don’t use a lot of propaganda posters.
Maybe we ask Shepard Fairey to do one for us? Or just some psychedelic 70’s concert poster with distros?
Edit: Don’t crucify me for using AI:
Edit 2: People downvoting, I was using AI as the tool it’s meant to be - a quick first draft, proof of concept to sort out ideas. I’m not going to spend hours mocking up both of these for a comment on a meme. I will spend time on one of them, maybe, later. Real human time with 10 fingers and eyes that aren’t all squishy.
Gimp is free 💔
JFC, I’m using it NOW to make a real version! It was a proof of concept use! Y’all are so blinded by hate.
I am not going to crucify you.
I will hang you on a comma!
Or in this case, on the robot’s bad spelling.
ARCH LINUK
ELEMENTART OS
POPI. OS
KALLILINUXI like the style and mistakes of the 60s style one. Elemen Tart Os, KaLLLinux, the guitar strings at the headstock
in this case, the proper human artist would also be hallucinating
Thanks for actual feedback.
I also like the style, but the concert poster version would be much easier to mock-up in gimp. Though, it looks like most psychedelic concert posters were for single acts, not festivals, as would work best for a lineup of distros. I’ll see what happens.
- ARCH LINUK
- ELEMENTART OS
- POPI OS
- KALLLINUX
I did not see your comment before I posted my own spelling corrections, you beat me to it
Elementart, my dear Whomp whomp!
Happy cake day 🙂
Thanks!
crucifies you anyway
(openSUSE represented in a meme? What a day!)
Imagine a KDE destroyer (kestroyer?) shattering your Windows from miles away!
You mean a KDEstroyer
Yeah… this is way too similar in style to legit Nazi propaganda for me to engage with.
I don’t understand what I’m looking at. Who is carrying the flags? The ship? The planes?
I thought it was the MCP from Tron draped in flags
My life for Super Users!
Sudo
Linux Undivided
Nyarch supremacy
Black and Red. Gonna have to say I’ll be with the Debian boys during the revolution.
I worked on United Linux. It was very rough.
