Microsoft trolls Internet with "leaked" Windows 11 ... that is actually Linux + KDE [SATIRE]
Earlier this week, epic prankster and Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadela managed to troll the entire Internet by taking a version of the KDE Plasma Desktop Environment, running on Linux, and releasing it as a DVD image named "Windows-11-Beta-Wink-Wink.iso".
"This looks so much nicer! Can't wait to upgrade from Windows 10!" remarked an excited Twitter user upon seeing the leaked screenshots.
"Woah! They really put a nice fresh coat of paint on Windows!" stated popular YouTube channel, Linus Tech Tips. "And it plays Windows games really well! Best Windows release ever!"
"Bazinga!" declared an amused Nadela, from his super sweet gamer chair with wicked nice built-in speakers. "What a bunch of newbs. That's not Windows. That's GNU/Linux and KDE. Or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux plus KDE."
Despite Microsoft CEO's unambiguous declaration of "Bazinga", the screenshots -- which are obviously KDE running on Linux, I mean, come on -- continue to make the rounds with Tech Journalists convinced they are truly a leaked Beta version of Windows 11.
"I mean. These are Windows 11 to ME," stated Microsoft Windows aficionado, Paul Thurrott. "I choose to perceive these as Windows 11. That's my truth. Calling these screenshots 'KDE' is literally violence."
