Why doesn't someone make a virus that installs linux and overwrites all proprietary operating systems? We could probably at least eliminate Windows XP, since that doesn't have support anymore. It'd be easy to skin it so that maybe 50% of the tards who use

There are still legitiment uses for windows XP unless you want to rewrite special device drivers for things like radiation detectors.

Because it will be used to broadcast project bluebeam. Not to make people more secure.

There was one a long time ago. IIRC they targeted old Windows boxes that were hacked to shit and unmaintained.

Was probably a bit before ANGEL, re timeframe.

I thought about this, but I suppose it depends if LibreOffice can open the latest MSWord files. With more being placed on the cloud it'd be a bit harder to pull off. This should have been done ten years ago to be honest. When I was at Uni, and talking about doing this very thing.

Dunno, '90s internet has vanished. I couldn't even find you a source for ANGEL.

A virus that replaces Windows by a GNU/Linux distro, with identical UI, with all the old programs installed over WINE, so people n start using libre software.

Truly a master plan.

Is puppy still the smallest distro? It's possible

You might just fuck up a few hospitals and banks in the process, so full steam ahead, because old people are memes and so are investors
