I have created the logical conclusion of this meme

Screenshot of Windows XP themed to look like old Ubuntu and edited to make the "Activate Windows by phone" window to be brown, say "Activate Linux" and have Tux instead of the Windows logo

@charlotte Thank you, getting this running in a VM was pain and it took me like two days for this one meme lmfao

@mjdxp It's Windows XP, with Tango Patcher for the Tango icons and stuff, a (not super accurate tbh) Gnome theme, and the Activate Linux window was just the Activate Windows one but I edited it in GIMP to be brown and have different text and Tux

The hard part was sending files over to a KVM Windows XP VM, since I could't figure out a way to set up shared folders with virt-manager, and by default it used IE which doesn't work with modern websites. Ended up making ISOs with SP2 and SP3 and a bunch of other programs so I could install a more modern browser.

@hazelnot Waitwaitwaitwait... WAT???

(Didn't know there are tools to make WinXP look like Ubuntu... still, that strikes me as way too much effort for that screenshot.)

(Anyway, I need to pick up my jaw from the floor now.)
