It has to do with Ubuntu and I don't get it. Can someone explain? :P

"I guess if people still use Ubuntu..." Ignorance is bliss.

I think the idea is that they've just got married, (The woman looks like she's wearing a wedding dress), and they're on their honeymoon. But the man is more interested in his computer and Ubuntu than he is in his new wife.

Never heard of Ubuntu. Really wow, oh well, I think quite a few people still use Ubuntu. I could be wrong, and this all could be a dream.

The guy runs a Danish company that provides Ubuntu consultant and support services for corporations. He was married and took that photo as a joke. Simple. :)

He's implying that Ubuntu users are a minority, like AOL users.

The comments then proceed to analyze the photo, meant as a minor joke, to death and beyond.

He was just googling for the nearest McDonald's. Yea, he probably dual-boots. I doubt the computer had Ubuntu pre-installed. The new wife is bored because of the mind-numbing wait for Windows and Internet Explorer 6 to come up. "Your marriage is at risk."

Ubuntu doesn't have as much security/stability issues as much as marriage does...

Piffle. It's always about the willingness of the user to maintain the system integrity. ;)
