    I haven’t seen the video, but that title does not seem correct. Pretty sure it would be her choice to use Ubuntu that got her to drop out. I don’t believe Canonical/Ubuntu can force someone out of college.

    If you don’t like me writing when I haven’t seen the video, then please post some TL;DW info, so we all know what’s going on without having to watch a youtube video.

    does it seem really odd that Dell would be selling the laptop bundled with Ubuntu as a “recommended” option?

    in early 2009 it would have been windows vista, i think? so maybe that’s the problem

    On this day 16 years ago some girl learned that you have to actually think about what you buy before actually buying the thing to make sure it does the thing you want it to do.

    This girl decided to buy something listed as a “computer” and it is her own fault for not bothering to look into what her money was going towards beyond that.

    This is like if I were looking for a new jacket, bought the first thing I saw with “jacket” in the name, and then was pissed off at the jacket because I couldn’t use my arms when I wore it because its a straitjacket, not at all intended for the purpose I wanted a jacket for.

      Wow, wasn’t expecting to click that and see the old h3h3 intro. Really brings back good memories. That channel was pretty good back in 2014-2015.
