    A few years ago I found a text (probably as image) where somebody ‘tried’ to run a virus on linux. It went something like this:

    Wanted to install a virus on Ubuntu, but it was only available as an aur package. Tried converting. Didn’t work … Tried make virus, but didn’t work. Upgraded cmake, tried again, but some libraries were missing.

    Tried installing libraries, but they were very outdated and I couldn’t find proper versions.

    Checked the source to see what the libs were doing and replaced them.

    and so on.

    Does someone know what I’m talking about and possibly has the source?

      Not sure how to actually post an image, but this I think is one.

      Gripping the bitcoin wallet and paying $5 out of pity is my favorite part :)

        You can add alt text in the square brackets, but many apps won’t show it.

        This then renders as

      I think I also remember somebody ran Wannacry under Wine with completely expected results.
