You can tell how old an image is by counting the jpg artifact rings. This one is from 2005 by my estimates.
For one, it’s got Steve Jobs in it, and he’s been dead since 2011.
If I were to make the same meme today, I would still use him, so I’m not sure this dating method holds any water.
I think that’s the right choice. If i need to imagine “apple boss” the face of jobs appear in my mind. The current one is Tim Cook, right? I’m sure I’d recognize him if I saw his picture, but at the miment I’m not able to picture him.
Did he always dress like Steve Jobs? I mean, I do too, but it feels creepy
I’m sure his wardrobe is carefully curated by a committee to sell more phones.
Recognizing Tim Cook is easy, he’s the puckered hole between two flabby buttcheeks.
he’s been dead since 2011
how is this new to me 💀
I’ve no idea. I’ve made probably 50 jokes about “the ghost of Steve Jobs” in the last decade
i knew he was the founder of Apple but that’s where I was out of fucks to give
Oh, well you may be interested to know he died because he attempted to cure cancer by eating nothing but fruit
by eating nothing but fruit
let me guess, apples?
Nah just fruitarianism
And it is stil, accurate (except S. Jobs death). Fuck we do not evolve. :(
I feel the Linux - Linux fanboy is very wrong these days. It does not have a monitor at 22 degrees
Oh hey. I made the linux part of this - Please don’t hurt me.
Funny as hell brother
If you show me a windows fanboy I’ll show you a bridge for sale.

I disagree. They might not go out of their way to recommend windows but when any other alternative is mentioned they 100% start arguing.
I’ve seen people on r/programming complain that they hated linux and open source cause it gave them a way to use a feature in vlc that wasn’t there natively. The other day I saw someone complaining that linux had window rules.

I doubt those issues, like the mic not working, are worth having ads in the start menu, candy crush being installed automatically at various times without user consent or being dropped from updates like a hot potato after a few years, even though the hardware is still okayish.
Apropos hardware: Windows is slow AF. It always runs dozens of silly services that waste resources. Now some Linux distros run a lot too (like cups when you don’t have a printer), but for some reason Linux doesn’t eat RAM for breakfast.

I can make Bluetooth work under Linux, but not windows server 2016…

That is surprisingly accurate.
I mean it essentially boils down to “thing I don’t use is bad”.
I don’t see that message in the image. Also, having used all three platforms for over 20 years, I feel like what I see in the image pretty accurately describes what a lot of the enthusiasts I’ve known in each camp describe about themselves and the others.
As someone else who uses all three on a weekly if not daily basis, the only one I disagree with is the Windows row, because i honestly have never met someone in person who I would describe as a fan of Windows, just folks that understand how to utilize it well. But even they shit talk it and Microsoft regularly
I’m a Windows user and have bwen for many many years. I recently started learning Linux so I can hopefully one day be competent enough to justify never having to buy Microsoft ^TM branded lube again.
My partner, and much of my friend group, are a Mac users.
I am a programmer so I know many many Linux people.
It is Shocking how accurate this meme is LOL
I too stare at htop for hours
I don’t see Linux as surreal, just as the default computing experience
I’m a Linux user and I usually see Linux the way that it is depicted for the Windows user. The terminal is beautiful and my favorite interface for interacting with computers.
I like htop
I’m a Macuser since 2008. I have 3 Raspberry Pi and a tower PC running Arch (BTW)
As a matter of fact, I switched to Mac OS X because I first switched to Linux.
Linux is fantastic. It can run on $10 potato or a $B100 server infrastructure.
The only thing I find absolutely terrible is Windows. And Windows users.
Besides, Linux users known Steve Jobs died. 13 years ago.
Now TBH, what I do hate is so called Linux users complaining about macOS being closed source (macOS kernel, macOS programming language, macOS Web engine are open source) while having a dual boot on Windows “to play games and use Adobe”. Fuck those guys.
I think the issue most have with Apple is the amount of money they demand to be a part of their walled garden. That’s where the Jobs meme comes from, and nothing has changed on that front since he cratered.
$1500 for a phone that you don’t own, forsooth.
As someone who has used all 3, MacOS is the worst overall. It combines the closed source nature of Windows with the limited software availability of Linux, and requires expensive hardware to run (look at the RAM/storage markups), and goes out of support artificially, just like Windows, and also is the least customizable out of the 3.
The only thing Mac is best for is if you have a lot of money, and either really hate Windows and need certain proprietary apps or are a prosumer or professional using Apple’s professional software like Final Cut Pro and the like.
But for everything else, Windows and Linux does what MacOS does but better.
- Basic computer for web browsing? Linux
- Need that specific niche app? Windows, optional dual boot with Linux if you hate Windows
- Gaming? Windows is best and Linux is close behind, but MacOS is not even in the race
- Development? Linux all the way
I dual boot Windows and Linux (on 2 separate SSDs), and I think it’s the best option for me.
I’m a linux fanboy and I bought a macbook… So where do I sit on this chart?
Staring at a mouse, wondering how you do things with one button.
I have yet to meet one person that actively likes Windows, it’s always that they use it because it’s the only thing they know
You guys have Stockholm syndrome
it’s always that they use it because it’s the only thing they know
Or they are forced to use it because of X application that only supports Windows and Wine doesn’t work well enough for it to run on Linux
I like windows for it’s low latency ASIO drivers.
I’m a windows user but you want macos for that, man. If that’s what you really care about.
If Windows is good enough for John Carmack it’s good enough for me. Tried Linux as my main driver for a couple years and there were nothing but hoops, problems and endless configurations to jump through. Why do I have to learn every goddamn thing about the operating system to use it properly? It’s like washing your clothes by hand. Ever tried that? Well I had to for several months once, not fun at all. So yes I actively like Windows.
Alternatively you learned to jump through all of Window’s hoops over the years of using it. Also, experience in the sense of configuration and hoops can vary wildly by distro. Linux has of course not always had the cleanest UI/UX but it’s always getting better and simply does not have the level of investments as Windows or MacOS. When Linux does have investment and runs on corporate sponsored hardware it’s usually pretty solid and easy to use e.g. ChromeOS, Android, and many server and cloud products. Also some people may appreciate the level of customizability that “washing clothes by hand” provides.
Wait… can a Mac run multiple monitors? It must be able to, but the only pictures I see Mac people posting of their desktops only ever have a single monitor. Clean desks and a minimalist aesthetic, but never multiple monitors.
the only pictures I see Mac people posting of their desktops only ever have a single monitor
That’s because their monitors cost $2k

Its true but your statement about fewer options is kinda wrong and making it private takes too much effort and it can never be close to Linux
deleted by creator
Doesn’t it defeats the point of being easy to use
I use windows because it combines the best of both worlds. If you set it up correctly you will never think about switching to linux or mac.
