Context: the creator of Linux is from Finland
Linus gets that this is a joke, just like Windows.
On the day he won, he was accused for being a right-wing advocate on front page, but for some unknown reason those articles disappeared in just couple of hours.
En kyllä todellakaan jaksanu lukea sitä :D menin iltalehden etusivulle ja ensimmäisenä vastassa otsikko jotakuinkin “huomasitko viisufinaalissa? Windows95Man ja äärioikeistolainen symboliikka” Ei sanasta sanaan noin, mutta noita sanoja käyttäen.
Pari tuntia myöhemmim yritin etsiä uutista näyttääkseni sen kaverille mutta ei löytynyt enää mistään.
No höh, ei löytynyt mitään kun etsiskelin. Varmaan mennyt peukkua näyttämään tai jotain yhtä dramaattista ja se sitten ylitulkittu.
I’m a bit partial to Spain’s performance this year with their Bitch (“zorra”) song… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSZqlQZ0_us
they came in second last year and couldn’t handle it so they have to go back being last.
Kärjää was so fun. Far and away the televote favorite, too.

For a slightly better chance against Linux he should have called himself windows XP man. 95 was shit if I remember correctly.
You’re forgettin literally all the versions of unix that existed at that time, solaris being prominent, but ibm had their own version, and so did many other companies, all of these ram x11 desktops, win95 was much farther from being the only option than windows 10 was before windows 11
Linux absolutely had a GUI. It ran X just fine. I know because it was my desktop at the time.
I think Windows has been shit since it was an app that sat on top of dos. It’s gotten a lot better now in countless ways, but overall, it’s gotten worse than better. There was a time where I couldn’t/wouldn’t consider an alternative as a daily driver from 95 through to the end of 7 support really.
The enshitification of windows got worse with 10 (11 is another order of magnitude) and the oncoming eos, drove me off again about 18 months ago and I’ve been happier for it.
