Surviving Mars, please.

My favourite Linux joke:
:(){ :|: & };:

Also:
[...]
question:
What is difference between chattr a chmod?
answer:
man chattr > 1; man chmod > 2; diff -d 1 2
Optimization, man (especially because process substitution looks like an ASCII penguin):
diff -d <(man chattr) <(man chmod)

Microsoft gives you Windows... Linux gives you the whole house.

Surviving Mars pls.

Three male programmers were in the bathroom standing at the urinals.The first programmer finishes, walks over to the sink to wash his hands.He then proceeds to dry his hands very carefully. He uses paper towel after paper towel and ensures that every single spot of water on his hands is dried.Turning to the other two, he says, “At Microsoft, we are trained to be extremely thorough.”

The second programmer finishes his task at the urinal and he proceeds to wash his hands. He uses a single paper towel and makes sure that he dries his hands using every available portion of the paper towel.He turns and says, “At Intel not only are we trained to be extremely thorough but we are also trained to be extremely efficient.”

The third programmer finished and walks straight for the door, shouting over his shoulder, “At Red Hat, we don`t piss on our hands.”

Sup GOL. I'd like "Surviving Mars".

User : Hello, i'd like to hear a joke.

Linus Torvalds : Fuck off. (凸 ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)凸

Surviving Mars.

Why does learning Linux leave you satisfied?

You meet Su and have root.

It's unlikely that I'll win, but Iconoclasts.

A house where Linux users live:

(yes, this house is real. I'm not sure if there are actual Linux users though.)

Surviving Mars would be nice.

What is a Linux user's favorite game?
Sudo ku

I happen to be a fan of Sudoku.

Iconoclasts looks pretty good for me.

"Microsoft gives you Windows, but Linux gives you the whole house."
Get it?

Surviving Mars!!

Three sysadmins have a crash in a car against a tree. The car is broken. It refuses to move.

The first sysadmin uses Mac and says: "No worries, I have a good customer support. I will make a call and we will get the car fixed"

The second sysadmin uses Linux and says: "Don't bother with that. I have all the tools here to fix it. It will be way faster if we fix it ourselves".

The third sysadmin uses Windows and says: "Guys, why don't we just try to get out of the car and enter again?"
Skylz Jun 14, 2018
Honestly, I'd be happy with either game. Flip a coin?

How do you know if your friend uses Linux? Don't worry, they will tell you.
mahagr Jun 14, 2018
Surviving Mars is something I've been thinking of getting.

^ That was the joke, I am so busy that I will never have a chance to play it!
If you are wondering how my joke relates to Linux, please read the article once again.

What do you get when you cross a Fedora with an Arch?

What's the difference between Linux & Windows, you can't let in fresh air by opening Linux.
dpanter Jun 14, 2018
Surviving Mars sounds like it could be a sweet game.
Here's a couple of good/bad "jokes" related to Linux...

  • You can't play games in Linux

  • Steam Machines

  • Photoshop

  • Fresh packages in Debian stable
