I got downvoted on /r/linuxm*sterrace for saying that a prank like this was super unprofessional and unfunny.

If I’m using a rescue disk, I’m already stressed as fuck and in no mood for any pranks saying my computer is locked.

      It’s not that I think people will believe it, but if I was already stressed at the prospect of losing my Linux installation and potentially even my data, I’d be super pissed if I saw a gag like this, and certainly wouldn’t think it’s funny.

    I must say I really like the difference in votes there and here. It clearly says something.

    I agree with you. They should have put a message like: “Happy April Fool’s Day” or something like that to avoid worrying users :S
