    And only one of them would not have a thousand new security vulnerabilities the same day that the source code could be seen by the bad guys.

    Why is “ios” the only one not in all-caps? Why does the apple hq list their mobile system while the other two list their desktop/workstation/server systems? Why does each get a different proportion of the screen/why aren’t they equally sized/why are they not stacked vertically? Why is this man not using dark mode, and how is the obvious and glaring light bleed at the bottom-left of his monitor just get accepted?

    This picture, it frustrates me on many levels.

      Why is “ios” the only one not in all-caps?

      iOS begins with a lower-case ‘i’, making this error more frequent.

      Why does the apple hq list their mobile system while the other two list their desktop/workstation/server systems?

      Apple’s most iconic product is the iPhone, but the meme compares software. So the ‘Apple’-item then becomes iOS.

      Why does each get a different proportion of the screen/why aren’t they equally sized/why are they not stacked vertically?

      The rule of three applies to jokes and typically dictates that the punchline is third and given extra emphasis. The layout reflects that tradition.

      Why is this man not using dark mode, and how is the obvious and glaring light bleed at the bottom-left of his monitor just get accepted?

      From what I’ve seen, Linus Thorvalds uses default work environments and doesn’t care much about hardware beyond functionality.

      Also, the Linux man is using windows (default windows background plus windows explorer open).

      Edit: yes, I was wrong. For every downvote this gets, I’ll install a distro without systemd in another computer.

      Edit 2: y’all making me spend all my money on Void Linux licenses…

    I remember a few years ago Linus said he uses a macbook with Linux on it. I wonder what he uses now that macs aren’t x86 anymore.

    Edit: all I can find is he is still using a macbook now with an m2 chip. For his desktop he has a threadripper CPU and an Rx 580

      Linus was a bit of a trendsetter what comes to standing desks. In an interview he also commented on the walls, saying the paint colour is also used in mental institutions because it has a very calming effect on the human mind. (Goodness knows Linus needs all the chill he can muster.)
