Iconoclasts

Do you want to come over and watch my shell collection?

I wouldn't mind "Surviving Mars".

JOKE: I told my friend a joke about nano, but he didn't gedit. Even when I told him vi more times.

Iconoclasts would be my choice!

So I often donate pre-owned Linux desktops to non-profits and schools for their after-school programs. I also volunteer at a few teaching computer repair, maintenance and OS install along with running gaming groups. Some kids go on to get certified either A+ or LPIC or some sort. So I often run into kids from previous years and they tell me stories of where their Linux knowledge took them. So one of my star kids from 2007 was telling me a story of his time in college. He was playing CS with kids in the school when a kid came to him with their Macbook. He has become known as the go to IT kid in his dorm. So he gets out of his game to help the dude with the Macbook. The dude came to play but his Macbook was not acting right. My linux kid looks at the machine boots into it and finds that his machine is infected with something and his browsers are going to erroneous search engines. He tells the mac kid that his machine is infected but the mac kid states that it's impossible because macs don't get viruses and such. He also adds that macs don't get hacked. The linux kid tries to explain but the mac kid is not hearing it. So he hands the macbook back and says 'Well then you should be good then.' He goes back to playing his game and the mac kid stands there among the CS LAN. The mac kid yells how all he needed was a mac restore disk. Another kid happen to have one and hands it to him. He sits down and start using it. 20 mins into working with the restore disk everyone in the room starts hearing sex ads - LOUDLY. Everyone tells him to mute it but he is unable to do so...He starts getting flustered and takes off running with the macbook and down the stairs leaving the restore disk and a confused group. The CS lan goes on and comes to an end late at night. The lan kids get together to head out for some food and as they reach the lobby they see a smashed up macbook all over the lobby.

It's funny because it is true. :D

I'd really like to play Iconoclasts.

QuoteWINE runs old Windows games better than Windows 10
If that isn't funny I don't know what is.

"if your VCR is still blinking 12:00, you don't want Linux" from Linus is now kind of a joke, because Linux is rumoured to be easier to install and use than Windows.

"Surviving mars", please.

Quoting: edenistIconoclasts

Arguably those open source attributes could apply equally well to polytheism. But it's certainly an appropriate joke for someone who wants "iconoclasts".
HarryKane Jun 14, 2018
Surviving Mars please!

I am quite sure it has already been posted, but anyway I like it:
QuoteLinux is user friendly. It's just picky about who its friends are.

I have a good old joke on Linux, it is "comming soon".
kneekoo Jun 15, 2018
Ooh, Surviving Mars would be great! :)

And here's a Linux joke: Microsoft <3 Linux.
