I agree on the merits, but the contrarian in me has to point out that any company is a monopoly through some convoluted interpretation. For example: Logitech has a monopoly on mice and keyboards that work with their proprietary software.

Nice. I solved 22 (with 2 of them being unsure), there’s 12 I don’t know. I can only assume the multiple listings of ‘List files in current directory’ is a deliberate joke because you use it so much, but somehow it doesn’t feel right.
You should find a website to share it where people can play it interactively! I’m sure such websites are out there, it’s too obvious.
site isn’t loading for me, but I’m guessing it’s one of those “combine two things to get a new thing” games like Doodle God, but with AI answering on the fly instead of it being handcrafted?
Windows’ might be complex, but it is NOT graceful. If you have notepad open with unsaved text, then shutdown will never shut down - but nothing on the screen will make this obvious to a non-technical person.
My guess: it’s a mouthful and not catchy. “Linux” is short, catchy and easy to pronounce. With “GNU/Linux” I don’t even know if I’m supposed to spell out the GNU or pronounce it as a word, and I don’t know if I’m supposed to say the “/” as “slash” or “plus” or “and” or if it should actually just be silent. I like to type how I speak, so if I don’t know how to say it I’m not going to write it, and I’m not going to like reading it.
I can totally see the merits for “GNU/Linux” but don’t underestimate the importance of catchiness. Maybe if it were shortened to “Ginux” it could stand a better chance, but then we’d have another gif situation.
and Windows 10 is obviously so outdated it’s not even worth including

To be fair, it turns out not all environments implement floating-point arithmetic by the IEEE spec, meaning division by 0 can produce different results depending on where you run it. So in C++ float division by zero is undefined: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42926763/the-behaviour-of-floating-point-division-by-zero
But I’m fairly sure (note: based on literally no research) that most environments today will behave like the IEEE spec.

In IEEE arithmetic, division of 0/0 or ∞/∞ results in NaN, but otherwise division always produces a well-defined result. Dividing any non-zero number by positive zero (+0) results in an infinity of the same sign as the dividend. Dividing any non-zero number by negative zero (−0) results in an infinity of the opposite sign as the dividend. This definition preserves the sign of the result in case of arithmetic underflow.

AFAIK that should give you +infinity, not NaN
The process that’s used to kill, or in short, the ‘kill process’.

You’re in the majority in general society though, IMO. And I’m with you as well.
Have you ever actually seen someone care about that particular choice of terminology, without being sarcastic trying to be funny?
What did this say before the edit?
I’ve never seen this meme format before. Wasn’t too hard to find but there were alarmingly few results. Here’s an unedited copy: https://pin.it/4IDvvJwNb
I think what I’m trying to say is: where are you getting your memes? What should I make of this obscurity?
I will always use the GUI for this when given the option. Change my mind (you can’t).
