Does windows have this much KINDNESS in a single phrase? HAH! Eat it botnet!
My favorite system message is GRUB’s “bailing out, you’re on your own. Good luck”
Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
This is the most confusing and awesome message I’ve ever had.
Screen prints (printed?)
Suddenly the Dungeon collapses!! - You die..when the master process died unexpectedly.You have nethack messages activated?
My favorite too.
The PowerPC installers used to have a step where it would output something like “Blessing /dev/sda1 with holy penguin pee” loved that message :)
OP is not in the sudoers file.
This incident will be reported.
This was scary to me as a young guy learning Linux 30 years ago. Turns out it’s not reporting to anyone. :)
It in fact is reportet to the system admin. In that case you.
It’s in a journalctl log (i think location is depending on distro)
Maybe if you have a local mail server set up on the system? Otherwise no way to report. :)
Otherwise it goes to your /var/mail I believe. Sadly they merged commit lately that removes this message

have you tried to setup sendmail on a machine lately?
No, that’s what postfix is for.
It just printed into the system logs on my arch install(although this was a few installs ago… could’ve changed)
Linus Torvalds gets those reports and puts you on the naughty list
Now that’s a grumpy Santa I can believe in.
Yeah. I think it’s a holdover from earlier *NIX.
It reports it to you ( the system admin )
Santa is coming for that naughty person!
I like when my system insults me when I do dumb things. This is why enabled the „insults“ option in my sudoers config.
I need to do this, I need constant reminders that what I’m doing is nonsensical.
I’ll need to do this. Is it just in the default sudoers file as an option?
Yes take a look here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sudo#Enable_insults
ahaha I am totally enabling this

Once, on bsd, I got, “you done messed up”
I destroyed the fs, so, to be fair, it wasn’t wrong…
Lmao how did you do that?
It was my very first non-windows installation. Win98 (not SE) had just came out, and I was super frustrated with the state of the desktop OS. I thought, “there has to be something better than this shite”. I got an old computer from a yard sale and an old HDD from goodwill all for around $10 (I didn’t want my main computer to be the guinea pig), downloaded Caldera from some shady site, and started the installation process. Remember Caldera and how it was supposed to be an OS for the masses, supposedly working on current hardware? Well… Not my state of the art junker was excluded from that claim, I suppose, because it failed. I tried several other distros, but all failed. Hell, even Win3.11 failed. My friend told me that he got BSD running on his dad’s old laptop (BW screen, manual toggles for the brightness and contrast, even had to be plugged in to work), because “you could run BSD on some tinfoil and gum”. So, I figured, why not. Downloaded the IMG file wrote it to floppy, and started. I got it installed (yay), then started tinkering. I don’t remember now what I did, but, yeah, I effed that installation up real good. Reinstalled successful, and just used it as is with minor adjustments to make it work a little smoother. I even got it to print on our brand new HP Deskjet 540 printer, something Win98 just couldn’t handle.
Shit, all these linux posts make me want to setup one.

I miss “lp1 on fire” :-(
That message would require a printer, which one cannot miss if they finally got rid of it.
That was not the UNIX way… True UNIX way would end silently and have zero as $?
I always liked the “UNIX confirmation prompt”:
Were you sure?After three minutes of nothing, caused by a command to remove the French language pack:
sudo rm -Rf /
And then there’s the symfony console who tells you after each command "now get back to work* :(
Ow. Now that is rude.
You enjoy Linux to freely use your machine. I use it to make the cow say funny thing. We are not the same.
It doesn’t say that on my system when I format with ext4. Is it because you used ntfs? Probably.
I didn’t get that with btrfs either.
I love GRUB’s “Installation finished. No error reported.” Its a small thing, but you need a confident voice to tell you that everything is OK.
I prefer the bb command
Why are you still in dos ?
