Awkward...But Chill

You know you've found your people when someone casually mentions they manually uninstalled McAfee. That's not just a friend—that's a battle-hardened warrior who's stared into the abyss and survived. McAfee is basically the herpes of software: it comes pre-installed on your new PC, refuses to leave, and makes everything slower. The uninstall process is so notoriously difficult that John McAfee himself once made a satirical video about it. So yeah, if someone went through the seven circles of registry hell to purge this digital parasite, they deserve a medal and immediate friendship status.

It's the RPG character selection screen nobody asked for but everyone secretly relates to! Choose your programmer archetype: Top left: The Corporate Legacy Warrior - Internet Explorer, Windows Server 2003, and .NET. You've got job security until those legacy systems finally die (which might be never). Top right: The Privacy Paladin - C programming, GNU/Linux, ThinkPads, and Tor. You probably have a Richard Stallman shrine and whisper "proprietary software is theft" in your sleep. Bottom left: The Hipster Bard - HTML5, JS, Apple, Electron, and of course, the mandatory Starbucks coffee. Your apps are bloated but your Instagram is fire. Bottom right: The Hardcore Wizard - Arch Linux, Monster Energy, mechanical keyboards, and 300 commits per day. You've been coding since 12 and think sleep is optional. The real question isn't which class you are, but which one you'll admit to being in public.

When you're so done with Microsoft's ecosystem that you're ready to pledge your soul to Valve and their Steam Deck running SteamOS (which is Linux-based, btw). The irony? You're basically begging a gaming company to save you from Windows updates, forced reboots, and the never-ending "We're getting things ready for you" screens. The best part is that SteamOS is built on Linux, so you're essentially saying "I'd rather learn Proton compatibility layers and fiddle with Wine prefixes than deal with one more Edge browser popup." And honestly? Valid. At least when Linux breaks, you chose to break it yourself.

The eternal battle between Windows and Linux updates perfectly captured! Windows begs to update at the worst times and gets told to shut up. Meanwhile, Linux users will literally sit and watch apt update run for an hour like it's prime entertainment. The difference? Windows forces updates down your throat while Linux makes you feel like a hacker watching scrolling terminal text. It's the Stockholm syndrome of operating systems—we hate forced updates but voluntarily watch package managers do their thing.

The evolution of command-line interfaces is a beautiful tragedy. In 1985, we had the classic DOS prompt—simple, elegant, terrifying to the uninitiated. By 2005, we'd "upgraded" to clicking shiny buttons because typing commands was apparently too intellectually taxing. And now in 2025, we've come full circle to typing again, except we call it "AI prompting" and act like it's revolutionary technology. Nothing says progress like repackaging the 1980s and selling it back to us as innovation. The command line never died; it just got better marketing.
