For those who don't remember the original of this was an ancient meme:

Edit:

Just how old this meme is: OSX 10.9 mavericks was the first free mac update, it was released in 2013. The meme should be created before that. Iirc Windows 7 was the first win with forced and annoying updates, it was released in 2009. So this meme should be from that era, 11-15 years old.

Edit2:

I found the original post, my calculations were correct, this is from 2011: https://www.stickycomics.com/computer-update/

I thought I had a virus when I got a pop-up about Ubuntu pro. I thought all linux was free and there's no way I'd be getting ass for features I don't have

What are the distros that would align with these categories?

Cool, more free stuff:

Not again!

Ooh, only Ubuntu pro:

• Ubuntu

sudo pacman -Syu Cool, more free stuff! Fresh as a morning breeze.

Make all the mistakes you want to. There's a lesson under every leaf in this world.

(probably the most downvoted post i've made yet on lemmy 😂)

Ubuntu pro is free to enable btw
unless you're using ub server for commercial purposes, then you're breaking the agreement

You mean a free Ubuntu pro account for personal use?

$ nixos-rebuild switch --use-remote-sudo --flake ~/dotfiles#desktop

😎😎😎

What does Ubuntu Pro get you besides extended support after the normal OS EOL?

I'm an annoyed fedora user and it seems every day there's an update that requires reboot to install. I want the latest patches to keep the system secure, but this is annoying, and I use 2 laptops.

Fedora/Arch/Ubuntu

yay! :)
