Uses old Fedora logo? Check. So small it can barely be read? Check. Using distros nobody ever heard of? Check. Must be from India.

Which distros has no one heard of? some of the are discontinued, so the meme is old (which probably explains the old Fedora logo). And its probably small because this was a preview image from another meme site instead of the full size image. But otherwise the only thing that stands out to me is that backtrack/kali is definitely NOT neo. kali is what you use when you THINK youre a hacker when youre 14. "Im 14 and my linux distro is edgy" vibes. It should have the Mint photo of the kid.

WTF is "Gnewsense"? Old? "Backtrack" is a precursor to Kali Linux that was out for a few years, and hasn't been around for over a decade?

[–] bisby 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

gnewsense was one of those hardline GNU FSF type things. Its old and no longer around. This is a perfectly valid list for a meme from 10 years ago. The selection of distros isn't odd, using a meme from 10 years ago is odd.

That version of the Ubuntu logo was released April 29th, 2010, and Backtrack became Kali in 2012, so I think that gives us a pretty good idea when this meme was created. Probably somewhere between 2010-2012. It was a fun trip down memory lane. Maybe they will dig up more relics.

"Out for a few years" makes sense from the current perspective but think of it in terms of the users from that era. I used Backtrack when it was Backtrack, and the dragon logo will always invoke Backtrack to me, not Kali. It's just a really old meme.
