Iconoclast

Q: Why couldn't Chris try out the regular expressions he created until he left home?
A: His mom wouldn't let him play with matches.

I'd love to get Surviving Mars, thanks.

Anyways, it would be easier to come up with a Windows joke since the whole system is a joke on its own, but I'll do my best:

Iconoclasts would be awesome :)

It's an oldy, but a goody:

Fatal Error: Found MS-Windows System -> Repartitioning Disk for Linux...

Surviving Mars, please.

It's more like true story :P

QuoteIf you go to a Linux forum and ask for help fixing your WiFi driver, everyone will ignore you. If, instead you say "Linux sucks, you can't even get a fuckin Wifi driver working!" thousands of people will solve the problem for you.

I should try this. I have a laptop with Linux Mint, and every new kernel branch breaks its Broadcom BCM43142 Wi-Fi. It takes months to get fixes, and I still have to use kernel 4.13. I tried to boot Mint 19 beta, it has kernel 4.15 and doesn't allow to select another one via mintUpdate. Switching drivers doesn't help. Linux sucks.

nice giveaway!

I'd like to get Iconoclasts, please.

Here is a joke, saw this on reddit and really liked it (hopefully noone commented this one before me)

Surviving Mars.

QuoteAll computers I ever owned ran Linux. I had some computers running Windows at home, but they were Microsoft's. There was also a Mac, but I think it was the Mac who owned me.
Apopas Jun 15, 2018
Surviving Mars FTW!
QuoteNormally every game should support Linux because in the requirements they say windows 7 or better!!!

Game: Surviving Mars
Joke:

So I was dealing with this user on my website called "LeafyOne," who was obviously probing the site, but not masking his ip address. I thought, this is an easy one, why not call him out on it for the fun of it.
Then I received a couple hundred emails, and they all said one thing:
LeafyOne:
"I am root"

Iconoclasts would be my pick.

As for a joke SPOILER: SWEARING:

Steve: I propose we change the command MAN to FUCKING
Elen: What!? That's stupid, MAN makes the most sense. It stands for manual, duh.
Steve: Yeah but most linux user are men and they never read manuals instead they try everything else then end up swearing.
Michael: Yeah, usually end up typing FUCKING FUCK FUCK, I always forget there is usually a MAN page.
Chris: Hmm yeah sounds good to me.
Elen: FUCKING HELL..

I was about to compile a great joke about linux here, but it seems to depend on good sense of humour. Iconoclasts.

I would like Surviving Mars if possible.

Linux joke:

At dinner at a Japanese restaurant, the person next to me said she wanted to work with abused children. Since we had not yet received the tempura, I responded, "If battered shrimps are your interest, we should have some here soon."
