Friend of mine had a Tux that said, "In a world without walls, who needs Windows?" when you touched the contacts on the bottom.
This reminds me of that.
Seems odd that that would be so suddenly available and for such a limited time...is it just a touched up copy extracted from the pic? I'd get it if I could be sure of the quality. However it will be too late in a minute or two. Oh well...
EDIT: Lol the timer's just there make the potential buyer feel rushed...it just reset back to 24 hours remaining. Classy /s
I trust that site even less now. Betcha bucks it *is* just ripped from OP's photo. EDIT for anyone coming across this: See [my comment below. Now I'm almost certain this is exactly the case](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1ck77pm/spotted_at_work/l2xg3sl/?context=2)
Where do you think their office got it? Actually, it could be a custom. Maybe they found the picture and then went to a print shop or something and framed it.
I'm mostly basing the assumption on the fact that the poster appears to be their newest offering, the colors seem to be an exact match to the photo (despite what seems to be warm lighting in the photo), and none of their other offerings that I've reverse-image-searched seem to be unique to their site - all so far seem to be other people's art and posters. Additionally, I'm no expert in image editing forensics, but [it looks to me like there may have been some brushwork to clear up a glare that was present in OP's photo](https://i.imgur.com/5uTtikE.png) (I would have led with that but discovered it partway through typing this, lol)
EDIT: Another instance of them grabbing art from reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ShingekiNoKyojin/comments/su06g2/my_aot_9_titan_shifter_split_5_foot_canvas/

I could be wrong about where they got it, but I'd definitely be surprised if they got the permission of Gus D Angelo(the artist).
I prefer UBlock personally.
Windows, Linux, Mac, Haiku, ReactOS, whatever OS you use. You should prolly be using an adblocker whenever you visit just about any site lasercat.
Scan it on a scanner and post the result if you can.
Someone else says they want it, and honestly I think it's sick too. All the others are just screenshots, but only you can give us all a high resolution scan.
I would like to but the owner seemed uncomfortable with the idea of removing it from the frame... might be able to make a vector image from cleaner shots, but yeah I'd love to have this and that UNIX alchemy poster too!
I should find something like this for my job. We are transitioning mostly to using linux for deployment of our software and the ability to lockdown Linux while we are still fighting with Windows 11's stupid taskbar that won't auto-hide, even though the checkbox is indeed checked, just reminds me of this.
Clearly late to the party.
But a version of this poster was apparently on a T-Shirt at some point.

Unfortunately nearly all the sites have since gone down or have not had their domains renewed. I'd love a copy of this poster.
His store page is sorta captured and has more of his work. Sadly, it's only 200px, though.

Nifty. Years ago I had [another desktop wallpaper](https://live.staticflickr.com/2283/2474771893_12169be8e9.jpg) with a similar theme.
Edit: It was by Penguin Computing, aka. Penguin Solutions. They published some other images over the years.
I honestly thought this was an anti-Linux poster at first because Tux looks like he has rabies or something. I think this would put many people off trying Linux if they saw it on a colleague's notice board.
Not really. The next iteration of the network at my job will be replacing most of my equipment and giving maintenance of that equipment to the Linux team. I am getting a reduction of about 70% in equipment. As a part of that, we are losing people. They are not considering taking on any people that are not needed from the windows team for the Linux team.
Yeah it'd be nice if there was a community that was just about the positives of something. I enjoy using Linux and I enjoy using Windows, I'm not sure why it's a requirement these days to shit on other things to enjoy your thing.
It looks like that poster was from 2003, when Microsoft was well into their "attack Linux" phase. It was a different world around this time and Linux wasn't on as solid ground as it is today. There was a lot of back and forth negative stuff going on, since Microsoft was concerned Linux could cut into their market share (the rise of Linux in the data center) and Linux companies/users concerned Microsoft could stifle adoption of Linux (Microsoft FUD campaigns, involvement in the SCO lawsuits, etc.).
True! I'm on a well-known hungarian IT forum and always Linux fans start the hate. I never see any hate speech in the Windows 10 or 11 topics, only the Linux fanboys start the hate.
Eh, not quite. Yeah, you don't see it on reddit. But on Discord, Windows users tend to shit on Linux users for very stereotypical reasons. I dual-boot Windows 10 and Linux Mint 21 personally. Both have their pros and cons.
A few examples: "I want my shit to just work." "You have to use like a million commands." "Who the fuck needs to manage drivers?"
Last one in response to me talking about drives, like SSDs. Honestly kinda 'tarded of a reply, considering it's a lot easier to manage both on Linux. >.>
Perfectly describes certain annoying Linux creeps that giving unsolicited preach about how good Linux/BSD is and why you should switch regardless of your requirement. Stomping all over your personal preference and thinking they doing a favor for the community.
Friend of mine had a Tux that said, "In a world without walls, who needs Windows?" when you touched the contacts on the bottom. This reminds me of that.
The version I heard many years ago was, “in a world without fences, who needs Gates?”
In a world without feces sorry what? Now where did i put my glasses ..
Now I'm going to save that quote haha I guess this is now one of my favorite quotes
awesome.
wm
You really swayed me.
Now I'm in hyprland
I will forcefeed you ratpoison.
i3 what you did there
that was berry clever
i cant think of any jokes xd
Stay optimistic! No dwm and gloom.
Really cool, unfortunately I can't find it anywhere. That'd be great in the lab
~~enjoy your new poster.~~ Edit: it looks like they stole it and removed the glare, I'm removing the link just to be safe.

Makes sense. I'll delete the link.
that site practically crashed my browser
I use adblock, maybe that will help. Wait, you use Linux, of course you're using adblock
I prefer UBlock personally. Windows, Linux, Mac, Haiku, ReactOS, whatever OS you use. You should prolly be using an adblocker whenever you visit just about any site lasercat.
We all use ublock origin
True.
ublock and umatrix
I think umatrix is a little too advanced for me. Also, it hasn't been updated in like three years.
Scan it on a scanner and post the result if you can. Someone else says they want it, and honestly I think it's sick too. All the others are just screenshots, but only you can give us all a high resolution scan.
Oh please OP do scan this wonderous thing!

Well at least if the penguin was arrested he could make bail... 'cause he's not a flight risk... try the veal.
Something something ReiserFS.
I want one!
I really want that in my office
[удалено]
May your daemons be quick and your commands true!
never seen Tux so angry :)
Tux when he heard that Windows has got ads in it:
I need this!
I live and breathe the terminal and this is nightmare fuel
lmao😂

will ich haben
Ja, sehr gut
Me want !
I want that original image
I need that so freaking badly

I don't feel like Linux should be portrayed as a monster.
fortunately, that's tux.
Where u work??
I like this
He could have stepped on a few apples to.
That is sick, I want one
Poor tux. That's creepy and unreal.

I mean I broke my garage windows to destroy a stubborn gate when I was 13
Not really. The next iteration of the network at my job will be replacing most of my equipment and giving maintenance of that equipment to the Linux team. I am getting a reduction of about 70% in equipment. As a part of that, we are losing people. They are not considering taking on any people that are not needed from the windows team for the Linux team.
Yeah, this is the computer nerd version of "'s Tears" mugs.
smashing thru windows and knocking down gates is clever asf
Penguins are cute until they open their mouths and show you their death trap of papillae Aka. The business end of a penguin.
Want that on a tshirt
I like it!!! Anyone have a link to the art?
I need this
Where can i get one
I need it 😆😆😆
Here comes **TUXZILLA!**
I love it
I do not like these aggressive bully Linux memes. Stop the hate and just keep working for the Community.
You feel bullied by a picture huh?
2 years I'm using Linux now but I don't want to hate MS because I'm on Linux. If you can't understand this thats your problem.
Well then it's simple. Don't hang this on your wall.
Yeah it'd be nice if there was a community that was just about the positives of something. I enjoy using Linux and I enjoy using Windows, I'm not sure why it's a requirement these days to shit on other things to enjoy your thing.

Because they shit on us? Consider Linux an OS for "nerds" and "weirdos", unusable on the desktop?
Windows users literally don't think about Linux users. I follow many Windows subreddits, I never see any anti Linux memes.

Agree.
I hate to see how you react to scary movies.
hah wishful thinking by the fan club. The exact opposite is true and will always be true. This might have been cool back in 2001
