This video is hysterical.
Clearly doesn't know how to use google or has a mobile phone... or a working car for that matter so she can drive to the store and buy a copy of windows.
I suspect her kernel was out of date and her wlan card wasn't interfacing with the OS properly. Or she just didn't know how to connect to her access point.
Sad lol
Seen this three times and still funny, it's also kinda disturbing how the news took this so seriously .
What was that girl even thinking, " oh, my laptop doesn't have windows and I can't use this Ubuntu stuff, let's call the local news instead of aslinh someone for help "
It does worry me that there are people like this out there. I do have trouble accepting that people have different skill sets and intellect. All she needed to do was ask for help??? Lest us not forget that also EVERYONE can vote!
Some people are not supposed to have access to the internet...
People have different skill sets but that is just plain stupidity at its best. The older ones arround will remember the survival of the fitest thing we had going on.
Maybe she got it on the news because some one at Microsoft payed the news station to do coverage on the story to improve the success in Windows.
But for real, how do you buy a computer with a different OS that you probably never heard of and expect everything to work out of the box and be compatible with your uni.
There are people out there that are dumber than rocks when it comes to tech, unless it's a phone that allows them to schmooze it up on facebook. Had to deal with some like that at my old work.
I've seen this like 3 times but those newsreporters and the girl still make me cringe
My guess is she had never heard of anything other than Windows and Mac. So to her the possibility of not Windows didn't even seem like a thing that could happen. But that is staggering levels of "out to lunch" to not at least check before purchasing.
I'll go ahead and put this great article here. Someone else on the forum showed me this article and now I'm passing it along to y'all.
I'll watch this vid as soon as i get home cuz it sounds like its hilarious.
Yeah I saw that article too. It's shocking but so true. Great to read
Hey its me when they try to give me windows, i couldn't install build-essentials and vim and my life was ruined
i think ill do that next time the washer breaks down
My thoughts 
This is outrageous! The Girl should take class action lawsuit against Cannonical and Dell.
After all those companies are responsible for her losing a place at College. Everybody should be able to install the interwebs from a CD.
Here is my question.
How the hell did she get that laptop.
You have to go out of your way to get the ubuntu developer version. You basically have to ask for it by name.
Ewbundo? I mean its not windows, get real, what the heck is Ewbundo?
Btw... What the heck is an "operating system"
I love h3h3. Its weird seeing it pop up on teksyndicate lol.
He's pretty spot on with how he makes fun of the reporters involved in this. it pretty much sums up the quality of our news media in general.
I feel like ive seen the option on dells website before. She probably checked it bacause it made it cheeper and she had no clue what she was doing.
I actually appreciate that people don't know their ass from their face when it comes computers. It just makes people like us all the more powerful
This video is a perfect example of why Linux won't take over.
People are stupid.
