The bottom left panel shows the official Windows 10 logo, paired with the bottom right 2025 panel that features a tearful, desperate crying wojak character sitting in front of a desktop computer saying 'Don't leave me', referencing current user nostalgia for Windows 10 as it approaches its end of support in 2025, with many users now resistant to upgrading to Windows 11.

This animated meme uses footage of Tony Stark from the Marvel Cinematic Universe interacting with holographic interfaces to make a relatable joke about the frustrations of setting up Linux to avoid using Windows 11. The same caption is repeated, reading 'Me trying to get Linux set up on my PC, so I don't have to use windows 11:'. The animation shows Stark first examining a large, complete hologram of the Earth, which shifts to a blue digital sphere, then breaks down into smaller scattered holograms, until finally Stark is left holding only a tiny, nearly finished glowing hologram fragment, looking frustrated at being so close to completing the setup but ultimately failing to get it fully working.

This meme consists of text positioned above a well-known reaction photograph. The top text reads 'You know what? I'm about to say it.', followed by the core take: 'If Microsoft kept Windows 7 look and functionality there would not be so many people willing to migrate to Linux'. The image below shows a boy with glasses wearing a yellow t-shirt, looking serious as if about to share a bold, unpopular but truthful opinion, while another boy sitting behind him gives a thumbs up in agreement, in what appears to be a computer lab or classroom setting. The joke resonates with tech audiences, as Windows 7 is widely regarded as one of Microsoft's most well-received operating systems, while later Windows releases such as Windows 8, 10 and 11 introduced user interface and functionality changes that frustrated many users, leading a portion of them to switch to Linux-based operating systems.

This is a 4-panel digital comic meme that uses dark, sarcastic humor to criticize Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system and tease the upcoming Windows 12. Panel 1: The Grim Reaper gestures to a haloed Windows 11 logo (depicted as a departing spirit) and says, "IT IS TIME TO GO." Panel 2: The Windows 11 spirit asks, "Was I a good OS?" as the Reaper's hand pulls away. Panel 3: The Grim Reaper responds with a deadpan, "NO." Panel 4: The Reaper delivers a harsh roast: "You were absolute trash. I don't know what more Microslop [a playful, critical misspelling of Microsoft] has to offer but I bet it won't be good," while the Windows 11 logo sinks into a water-like area, defeated. The meme taps into common user frustrations with Windows 11 and anticipates disappointment with the next Windows release.

The top text overlay reads 'MY FRIEND DISAPPOINTED THAT I DIDN'T INSTALL LINUX' and the bottom text reads 'ME HAPPY THAT MY COMPUTER STARTS'.

This 3-panel meme uses a popular edited Simpsons template (of Moe Szyslak kicking a patron out of his bar) to joke about the common frustration of Windows users with Microsoft forcing Copilot onto their systems. In the first panel, the user (represented by Moe, labeled "ME UNINSTALLING COPILOT") forcefully kicks out a character whose head is replaced with the colorful Microsoft Copilot logo. In the second panel, the user stands exhausted and annoyed after removing Copilot. In the third panel, the same Copilot character returns, now representing "WINDOWS UPDATE", showing that even after users manually uninstall unwanted Copilot, Windows Update automatically reinstalls it again. This reflects widespread user frustration with Microsoft's practice of forcing unwanted pre-installed software that cannot be permanently removed.

The top panel (labeled '2020') features the Windows 7 logo alongside a distressed stick figure with an open mouth and hunched posture, accompanied by the text 'Don't force me to install 10' (referencing resistance to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10). The bottom panel (labeled '2025') shows the Windows 10 logo with the same stick figure now crying, kneeling, and reaching out, with the text 'Don't leave me' (humorously depicting nostalgia or distress as Windows 10 nears end-of-support, paralleling past resistance to upgrading).
