Surviving Mars, here's a good one:
Linux geek started working at McDonalds. A customer asked him for a Big Mac and he gave him a bit of paper with FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF written on it.

Surviving Mars and here is a joke:
Why Linux developer works in a Basement?
...
Because he doesn't like Windows.
Arnvidr Jun 14, 2018
Would love me some Surviving Mars!

Macs are for those who don't want to know why their computer works.

Linux is for those who want to know why their computer works.

DOS is for those who want to know why their computer doesn't work.

Windows is for those who don't want to know why their computer doesn't work.

Surviving Mars would be nice.

In case of a problem:
Windows -> Reboot.
Linux -> Be root.

Iconoclasts, just to be different.

Linux is like teepee. No Gates, no Windows, Apache inside.

Iconoclasts

I wanted to write an IPv4 joke, but the good ones were all already exhausted.

- So, I heard you`re going on vacation. Can your penguin live in my place while you are away?
- No, that`s not possible.
- Why?
- You always have your windows open.

Surviving Mars, please.

Linux and Windows were fighting a battle. Soon, Linux won. When Tux was asked how they won so readily, he said "We can customize our Colonels."

Surviving Mars

  • Linux is like a wigwam NO Windows NO Gates and an Apache inside


  • And one from czech ubuntu forum:

I like Linus Torvalds' comment/joke:
Software is like sex: it's better when it's free

I'd love Surviving Mars!

How many Linux users are needed to change a lightbulb?
* 1 to post a thread in a forum telling the bulb has burnt.
* 1 to suggest to try to turn the lamp on through command lines.
* 1 to complain that the user broke the thread.
* 1 to ask what new bulb will he install.
* 1 to advice that we shouldn't use the word burn for meaning a broken lightbulb, because it would mean that the bulb was set on fire and that it wold be right to say that the bulb broke due to an excess of electrical current.
* 25 to suggest to install all the kinds of existing and imaginable
* 5 who say that the burnt bulb is an upstream issue that doesn't belong to the distro. There's an open bug on the bulb's developer mail list.
* 1 noob to suggest to install a Microsoft
* 250 to flood the noob's mail
* 300 to say that a Microsoft lightbulb would turn blue and that you'd had to reboot continuously to get back to
* 1 former linux user who still frequents the forum, to suggest to install an Apple iBulb, which has a fresh and innovating design and it costs
* 20 to say that iBulbs aren't free, and that they have less functions than a 20 times cheaper standard
* 15 to suggest to install a national
* 30 to say that national lightbulbs are creepled remasters of foreign lightbulbs and that they don't bring nothing
* 23 to argue if it must be a white or a transparent
* 1 to remiind everyone that the right name is GNU/
* 1 to say that lightbulbs are a Winbugs users thing and that real Linux users aren't afraid of the
* 1 to announce finally which will be the model of the installed
* 217 to discard the chosen model and suggest another
* 6 to complain that the chosen lightbulb has propietary elements, and that another should be
* 20 to say that a 100% free bulb, isn't compatible with the lamp
* The same previous 6, to suggest to change the switch for a compatible
* 1 to yell out: “STOP ARGUING AND CHANGE THAT LIGHTBULB FOR GOD'S
* 350 to ask the previous user what God is he talking about, and that if he has scientific proofs of his
* 1 to say that we can't trust in corporation-made bulbs and that we should trust in community-made
* 1 to post a link to an ODF file explaining how to build a lightbulb from 14 to complain about the format of the previous file and asking to send it in txt or LaTeX.
* 5 to say that they didn't like the taken decission and that they'll fork the house's electric installation and install a better
lamp.
* 1 to post a series of commands to put to change the lightbulb.
* 1 to comment that he executed the commands and had an error message.
* 1 to advice that the commands must be executed as root
And finally:
The father of the first user, who while everyone were discussing, he went to the shop and bought the cheapest lightbulb.
