Windows: click a couple of buttons enter username and password

Linux: Terminal hacking, downloading shell scripts from github

I remember 2014 being pretty easy to install Linux. Windows 7 and 10 were also pretty easy then.

Haha, you're so silly! The meme says 10 years ago and not— …

My god, it really has been ten years since 2014, hasn't it?

If Back to the Future was made today, Marty would have traveled back to 1994.

I think you mean "Great Scot!"

It was "Great Scott!" but the DeLorean smashed through the second "t" in the past. 🌲🌲

2004 was twenty years ago :|

[-] cheddar@programming.dev 17 points 4 months ago

2004 is when we got Ubuntu, and if I recall correctly Mandrake was also rather easy to install.

Tbh I would rather use Debian, I use Debian today and if I knew about Debian back then I would be using it

I remember breaking my Ubuntu install a bunch of times when trying to install nvidia drivers and flash player to watch YouTube.

I was breaking redhat and fedora trying to install wifi drivers for pcmcia wifi cards. So much modprobe. That’s why I switched to Ubuntu.

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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 will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
