Spoiler alert! A leaked image appeared earlier on the web, a screenshot from Episode 3 of the third season of the acclaimed House of Cards TV show distributed by Netflix, showing actors playing as members of the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) while using their computers where the operating system might look like the Ubuntu Linux distribution.

As a bunch of users on the Internet were very curious to know if the FBI is really using the Ubuntu operating system on their computers or not, we’ve analyzed the situation by accessing the said episode and jumping directly to the short scene captured by the alleged screenshot.

We’ve also made a screenshot at that exact position in the show, as you can see above, and zooming in on the image confirms that what appeared to be the Unity user interface of Ubuntu is actually not. Even if the theme might look similar, it’s not Ubuntu, and it is definitely not using Unity.

House of Cards is an American political drama television series starring Kevin Spacey as the president of the United States of America. Ubuntu is the world’s most popular free operating system in the world used by millions of people worldwide.
