Kernel-compilation Memes

A brutally accurate flowchart for tech support across all platforms. Windows? Just reboot until your problems disappear or nuke everything. Apple? Their solution is literally "give us more money." But Linux? Oh boy. The Linux section is a beautiful descent into madness: learn C, recompile the kernel with spare silicon lying around (as one does), switch distros seventeen times, power your CPU with light from Saturn, spend a decade falling asleep to server fans, write regex so evil it makes programmers cry blood, learn Java while wearing lucky socks... and after all that existential suffering, Step 2 is just "go back to Windows or Mac." It's the tech equivalent of "the journey is the destination," except the destination is admitting defeat and the journey involves a CPU powered by celestial bodies. The sad part? Every Linux user has been at least 40% of the way through this process.
