Good to enjoy a giggle

I guess it all depends upon which side you view the screen from ---
Hopefully the openness of Linux soon clears away the aura of "black
magic" :-)


I have more of a giggle with such as https://xkcd.com/

And then there is the last of the series:

"Linux Sucks... For the Last Time" - 2017

And now for an alternate giggle:

What's got a vast attack surface and runs on Linux? Windows Defender, of
course

(The title is the greater giggle for some rather fun cross-fertilization
:-o )


And rather apt for some in our group:

https://xkcd.com/518/

:-P


All good honest fun!

Cheers,
Martin
