Linux Class Disaster

>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 student proudly uses Linux in a computer class, but struggles to run Photoshop and hastily installs GIMP instead. The punchline is that GIMP's shape tool fails to satisfy the teacher's simple request, leading to an absurdly dramatic breakdown and humiliation; it is sent as a reaction to Linux evangelism backfiring in a mainstream setting.
