A beige retro CRT monitor displays a Linux terminal filled with package names and installation progress, with an old keyboard in front and a modern monitor visible at the side. The joke is the exaggeratedly ancient-looking hardware being used for a huge software installation, evoking retro-computing nostalgia and the patience required to install Linux packages. It is used as a reaction to long downloads, outdated computers, or unnecessarily complicated technical setups.
