The final boss was Arch in the early days.
The boss fight was troubleshooting your display settings in Xorg.conf blindly, because you didn't have any screen output after an update.

If the game is Elder Scrolls, then I beat the OS by waving my Wabbajack and the Windows OS turns into Linux.

I have always found the manual of the manual page two a bit scary.

The final boss of Windows is to crowbar out a metric shitton of bullshit and you do it with a bunch of registry tweaks and GPedit

I am not nearly computer literate enough to understand what all these comments are talking about. But I expected personal bias to be one of the answers.

Have an upvote just for commenting.

Yes, there's always gonna be some sort of tech bias regarding such questions. Every OS has flaws, somewhere..

If it's unix, sudo rm -rf /* the system without mercy! If it's windows, nah, it will win.

  1. First you pay money to Canonical, and then you load the disc into the PC.
  2. Animal noises and bongo drums play for some reason and you're presented with an orange game menu.
  3. You click on one of the squares stacked clumsily on the left and nothing happens.
  4. You click it again and it drags with your mouse up the hierarchy.
  5. Finally, it lets go and a big white square fills the screen, knocking you off your chair.
  6. A popup window spawns from an empty corner and informs you that there are 25 packages that can be updated.
  7. Daunted by the unending onslaught, you curl up into a ball and weep

Microsoft Windows ME is the Battletoads of operating systems.

The final boss is acknowledging the hubris of believing you could ever win.

That final boss is easy. Just do Ctrl+Alt+Del, and then start killing all processes one-by-one until you get the blue screen of victory

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Blue screen of victory?

Fuck, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ
