    Do you have an Ubuntu sticker on your car?

    This is a thought that I had. Do you have an Ubuntu (Or any other Linux distro) sticker on your car?


    My dad has Ubuntu stickers on the satellite radio antenna (Or "shark fin" as we call it) on the back of his 2013 Hyundai Elantra:

    No Ubuntu or Linux stickers. But if someone's giving them away I'll surely accept.

    I have stickers and I'm now ashamed but have to admit it: It's a very good idea and it never occurred to me.
    I'll be doing this ASAP.

    Re: Do you have an Ubuntu sticker on your car?

    I don't put stickers on my car except those required by law. If I see a car with stickers on it, I know the owner hasn't lived here very long. The summers here are very hot and the sun light is intense. The sticker glue melts, dries, and cracks, or the plastic sticker melts, or the paper sticker oxidizes, or the colors fade. Even the sticker required by law placed on the inside of the windshield of the vehicle starts to pealing off after only one summer; but, they have to be replaced yearly.

    I actually don't think people seeing a LINUX distro logo on a vehicle will cause them to be interested in LINUX. To many, it would be some odd meaningless symbol sticker on the vehicle, if they notice it at all.

    Use whatever OS or desktop works for you. Dual boot or use VMs if you want. Backup your computer regularly, and definitely before upgrading, partitioning, or installing an OS.

    No support requests by PM please.

    Oh, I don't think that's really the point, though. I mean, I don't think when people put Transformers insiginas on their cars, they're trying to get people to buy action figures.
    I know I shouldn't use tildes for decoration, but they always make me feel at home~

    people here also don't put stickers on car. it lowers the care value when you try to sell it.

    I don't do bumper stickers.

    If I am out to buy a car and there is a dealer badge on it, I tell them they can take it off or they can lower the payment by $100 a month to pay me for advertising.

    I do not have any stickers on my car.

    My wife, however, has added several significant scratches to it in her relatively short driving career.
