This reminds me of the sysadmin at a Greek university I once worked in back in 2009 or so. He had installed Linux at every one of the computer labs' computers. He'd changed the startup software to describe Windows as Windows UnProfessional. The default was Linux, and it would boot within 3 seconds unless you quickly changed it. Under Linux he'd included all the Gnome 2 window manager flash, including spinning cubes and windows that went up in flames when you closed them.... He convinced my friend to install Linux on her laptop. Good times.


I like the fun spirit of it. We do not have these people anymore.


A budding RMS!
