I believe they are exhibiting denial that YouTube could possibly be old enough to have videos uploaded 18 years ago.
This denial is being done mostly in jest to cover the true, creeping, dripping, existential despair that so much time has passed, but at the same time to commiserate and laugh with others who are similarly affected. Drip, drip, tick, tick, tick.
Also, the video turns 19 in a couple of months. yaaaaay
i just saw some commercial (don't remember about what) with a panda explaining the product and i thought exactly of the "don't mess with panda" spots xD
I was hoping Tux would have a persona more like Dr. Cox, sweeping in nonchalantly to save the patient while badgering the interns for being incompetent
The C drive is full despite me having very little saved, some music, some openoffice docs, that's it. Idk how to clean it or wipe it, every folder under C seems empty yet the space is full.
Given your apparent technical level, I think you need to get your PC to someone who can work on it in person.
If you had space and better technical skills, there are tools you could install to help you track down where all the space is in use, but I don't feel confident that things would go well talking you through that on an Internet forum.
I am not stupid just never learned computer stuff more than I had too. My focus is elsewhere. I can and will do it myself because that is my only option.
Sorry, I never meant to imply you were stupid. Only that you didn't seem to be of a high enough technical level - right now - to be able to solve your PC problems.
As for (non-committal) further advice: Backups, backups, backups. And then a tool like WinDirStat to track down what's using all your space. There are YouTube videos that show you how to use it.
Get a new drive, and a USB stick, and follow these instructions . Once you get to the installation part, stop your PC, take out your windows drive, put in the new one, and continue.
After the installation, stop the PC, put the windows drive back in, together with the linux drive, and start the PC back up. Select linux at boot up. You should then be able to access your Windows drive from Linux and safely copy your data to the Linux drive.
Keep using linux until you feel comfortable and only then can you wipe your Windows drive and extend linux onto it.

There must be something wrong with YouTube, because it says that was uploaded 18 years ago.

SUSE has an entire library of musical parodies. Some of them actually slap. This one is my favorite.

Thanks, I rarely share anything on my phone and I think I got lazy from relying on a browser extension to remove those. I appreciate the heads up.

IBM made ads for Linux in the beginning of the 2000s. Most were a bit weird.
