Linux User Tries to Use Photoshop

>using linux in front of class mates >teacher says "Ok students, now open photoshop" >start furiously typing away at terminal to install Wine >Errors out the ass >Everyone else has already started their classwork >I start to sweat >Install GIMP >"Umm...what the fuck is THAT anon?" a girl next to me asks >I tell her its GIMP and can do everything that photoshop does and IT'S FREE! >"Ok class, now draw use the shape tool to draw a circle!" the teacher says >I fucking break down and cry and run out of the class >I get beat up in the parking lot after school

A 4chan greentext story shows a Linux user trying to install Wine so he can use Photoshop during class, but it fails. He installs GIMP instead, only to discover that the teacher specifically requires Photoshop's shape tool, leading to humiliation and an exaggerated breakdown. It is shared as an absurd reaction to Linux-versus-Windows software compatibility problems and overzealous open-source advocacy.
