    WTF is “Gnewsense”? Old? “Backtrack” is a precursor to Kali Linux that was out for a few years, and hasn’t been around for over a decade?

      gnewsense was one of those hardline GNU FSF type things. Its old and no longer around. This is a perfectly valid list for a meme from 10 years ago. The selection of distros isn’t odd, using a meme from 10 years ago is odd.

        That version of the Ubuntu logo was released April 29th, 2010, and Backtrack became Kali in 2012, so I think that gives us a pretty good idea when this meme was created. Probably somewhere between 2010-2012. It was a fun trip down memory lane. Maybe they will dig up more relics.

      “Out for a few years” makes sense from the current perspective but think of it in terms of the users from that era. I used Backtrack when it was Backtrack, and the dragon logo will always invoke Backtrack to me, not Kali. It’s just a really old meme.
