    Very ironic use of war propaganda, considering that Microsoft’s market model is closer to the colonial powers that usually use this format - and the fact that linux often attracts anarchists due to its open, collaborative design.

      Is there specific war propaganda this is mirroring? Propaganda isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s very helpful in revolutionary resistance movements. Is this mirroring something specific or are you just talking about the aesthetics of it?

      Famously, peaceful movements don’t use a lot of propaganda posters.

      Maybe we ask Shepard Fairey to do one for us? Or just some psychedelic 70’s concert poster with distros?

      Edit: Don’t crucify me for using AI:

      Edit 2: People downvoting, I was using AI as the tool it’s meant to be - a quick first draft, proof of concept to sort out ideas. I’m not going to spend hours mocking up both of these for a comment on a meme. I will spend time on one of them, maybe, later. Real human time with 10 fingers and eyes that aren’t all squishy.

          Thanks for actual feedback.

          I also like the style, but the concert poster version would be much easier to mock-up in gimp. Though, it looks like most psychedelic concert posters were for single acts, not festivals, as would work best for a lineup of distros. I’ll see what happens.
