Don't make a mistake in choosing a distro

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

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

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.

You mean a free Ubuntu pro account for personal use?

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

$ 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! :)

I've started to become 2) for some stupid reason.

I use btrfs snapshots to backup my system, and it has the side cost of needing a bit extra space. This is absolutely fine.

What is not fine however is free desktop/Nvidia flatpaks update. I get 10gb every week, and it keeps filling my disk with this stupid crap.

Not only that I am both a rust programmer and blender artist, and it's the trinity of non deduped disk space filler

Im in the middle, 4 times a day 😂 what distro?
