Lots of interesting figures in that output if you zoom in...

It's from last night's Rick and Morty episode. Season 4, Ep. 2

Probably from a universe where AMD is dominant, Intel is the scrappy underdog, and Debian is still on a 3.2 kernel.

Hopefully it will be in time to prevent a Y292271025015 bug catastrophe!

My friends think I'm a mad scientist just because I use Linux.

There's nothing wrong with being a mad scientist. I once met a molecular biologist who wanted to genetically engineer food that glowed in the dark once cooked. That way, when you were walking home from a night out and it was dark, you could use your takeaway as a torch. Bet he uses Debian Sid.

he hasnt cleared out his windows partitions.

at first i thought he was just running from a hybrid iso, that explains the first one. but it is less likely if hes using grub.

you could end up with a setup like this running wubi in the days when that existed, or endless os-- they keep the "linux" partition on a file on the windows partition. technically you could do that with most gnu/linux distros.
we need a concept of antitrust violations for free software.
