ITT: folks who think Linux is too complicated or whatever, but are perfectly willing to jump through endless hoops to work around some of Windows' deliberate hostility.

The Stockholm syndrome is real.

The name made me think it was made by the same company that makes these.

Link to the knowyourmeme.com page, maybe?

Alternatively, for a lot of meme formats it would be appropriate to use the text embedded in the image as the alt text.

What percentage of these attacks deep into Russia are being launched from Ukraine and what percentage are being launched from Russia? Of the latter (assuming non-zero), what percentage are being launched by Ukranian forces operating in Russia and what percentage are being launched by dissident Russians themselves?

My title was intentionally flipant.

No, your title was rude and condescending. "Flippant" is a different thing.

Sometimes there is so much configuration options a GUI would scare most users.

Or if it didn't, it would be because the dev limited the options displayed so much that it would cease to be useful for most users. (This is especially true when different users are likely to use different subsets of options rather than having the majority of them using the same subset.)
