    Image Transcription: Meme

    [Gru, the long-nosed protagonist of the “Despicable Me” franchise, presents to the camera, pointing into the air and smiling. Behind him is a flipchart with text reading:]

    And the best part about using Linux: No viruses!

    [Still presenting, Gru has his hand in a C shape and his head down as he peers at the gap between his fingers. The text now reads:]

    Look at this, a website downloaded a malicious .exe on my machine.

    [Gru now has his hands pointing down, fingers splayed, still presenting. The text now reads:]

    *Double Click*

    See? Nothing happe…

    [Gru looks back to the flipchart in a double-take, his eyes round and wide and his mouth downturned. The text still reads:]

    *Wine is launching*

    [The Wine logo: a slightly tipped wine glass with red wine sloshing inside it.]

      And saw the line break and thought “Wow. That was a good transcription.” I think I need to go back to bed.

    how could it be though? a malware written for windows isn’t the same as one written for linux, even if it got out to your computer it shouldn’t be able to do really anything since it can’t orient itself around an operating system it wasn’t written for

    I just got a real bad malware on my windows PC and I’m legit considering using Linux as a response. What’s the best into to someone who isn’t a programmer but understands computers relatively well enough?

    I feel like, for some weird reason, nobody on lemmy knows how meme templates are supposed to be used.

      you mean because of the last two panels which are supposed to be the same? I personally prefer this version, it always bothered me reading the same thing twice which didn’t add much to the meme

      It can still corrupt files. I knew that wine was the shut when I had to delete my wineprefix because Eve Online complained about corrupted file. Even better, a virus scanner would run and detect the malware.

    I haven’t run a Linux machine in years. Has wine improved or was I just not savvy enough to get things to run on it?
