I say you’ve won an operating system once you’ve contributed code that got into its kernel
Alright, have an upvote 👍
But… If you wrote the boss (or even just portions of it), then defeat the kernel boss you partly wrote, isn’t that like cheating?
Windows when you can activate it without giving MS your info. Of course, like so many final bosses, it tends to come back harder the next phase.
Kinguin ftw
The fear your code will break something one day and Linus will hunt you down will forever your thoughts.
Game over.
Your comment seems to have a ----- missing…
I don’t even
haunting you for the holiday 👻
Kernel, compiler and WebKit back in the day, taking the hat trick.
Blue screen of death and you defeat it by installing linux.
Then how do you defeat the new bsod in the Linux kernel? It’s got a fancy QR code!!
(It’s “install bsd” isn’t it…)
That looks purple to me, clearly not a BSOD.
For real though, a QR code for a kernel panic? 🤦♂️
Seems dope, I mean, your computer don’t work and retyping text is lame
God.
You patch God out of TempleOS
Uninstall Skype
Mission accomplished. Synaptic is awesome, plus I wasn’t using Skype anyways.
- First you pay money to Canonical, and then you load the disc into the PC.
- Animal noises and bongo drums play for some reason and you’re presented with an orange game menu.
- You click on one of the squares stacked clumsily on the left and nothing happens.
- You click it again and it drags with your mouse up the hierarchy.
- Finally, it lets go and a big white square fills the screen, knocking you off your chair.
- A popup window spawns from an empty corner and informs you that there are 25 packages that can be updated.
- Daunted by the unending onslaught, you curl up into a ball and weep
Microsoft Windows ME is the Battletoads of operating systems.
The final boss is acknowledging the hubris of believing you could ever win.
That final boss is easy. Just do Ctrl+Alt+Del, and then start killing all processes one-by-one until you get the blue screen of victory
Blue screen of victory?
Fuck, I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time! 😂🤣

Same way you overcome any of life’s challenges: decide it’s impossible bullshit and move onto another game
I won’t lie, I’ve considered almost totally giving up modern technology, and going back to refurbishing wristwatches like I did in my teens.
Analog/Digital? Hardly matters, as long as I can get parts…
Figuring out how to print…nobody knows how to beat it yet, some just get lucky
3D printers are easier to use than getting ink on paper and it’s appalling
Brother laser printers.
Was shocked when it randomly showed ip everywhere automatically, it showed up and worked on my fresh freebsd install, I thought shit was haunted.
I am not nearly computer literate enough to understand what all these comments are talking about. But I expected personal bias to be one of the answers.
Have an upvote just for commenting.
Yes, there’s always gonna be some sort of tech bias regarding such questions. Every OS has flaws, somewhere…
The final boss of Windows is to crowbar out a metric shitton of bullshit and you do it with a bunch of registry tweaks and GPedit
It would be General Failure reading the disc. I would fsck him up, and replace disc if necessary.
Yes, I know those may be different oses, but I was thinking multiplatform
UNIX: rename your NIC to something human readable
I dunno,
wlxaa392a001f7dhas a nice ring to it
Seems relevant: https://youtu.be/nhv5uv6Na_A
That’s extremely relevant LMFAO! 👍
If it’s unix,
sudo rm -rf /*the system without mercy! If it’s windows, nah, it will win.
