    Heaven's Gate: TempleOS

    To stick to the theme of my chart, since Unitarian Universalism is non-trinitarian it would likely need to be a Unix-like OS that isn't Linux. I would give it OpenSolaris. (And that's a compliment.)

    [–] jqubed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    I think several on your chart don’t believe in the Trinity? Pretty sure LDS, JW, and at least some Pentecostal? I think they all self-identify as Christian, though, but some Unitarians might not? Is that the difference?

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    That's my exact thought process. I put LDS at Android because they do identify as Christian, but we are really stretching the definition of what technically counts as Christian.

    Honestly I don't know as much as I ought to about UU, but I didn't think that they generally identify as Christian.

    I understand very few of these, except for arch, slack and the bottom row.

    How is ope suse and chrome Os related? Are baptist and southern baptist very different?

    Northern baptists were decentralized abolitionists, while southern baptists were centralized and pro-slavery.

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 8 points 1 week ago

    Arch is the denomination that is super proud of itself, despite being messed up for most people. OpenSuse is Baptist due to it's general reliability and flexibility. ChromeOS is Southern Baptist because it's barely recognizable as Linux.

    [–] ShyFae@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    I've heard mostly bad things about southern baptists, so I understand why the chrome os. I'm unsure of the relations of baptists and southern baptists.

    Evangelicals are typically traditional, very conservative, and proud. I thats a play on the arch user of doing everything in the command line and letting everyone know.

    Orthodox is has some nuonsed diffrences to Catholic, but is under a different hierarchy. Not sure how that relates to slackware

    The bottem row are all non Christian, so they are aptly not linux.

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 5 points 1 week ago (4 children)

    Orthodox is Slackware because it's the oldest Christian denomination and changes very slowly.

    If I go distro->religion then I guess I'm Orthodox.

    If I go religion->distro then I guess I need to start using a TI graphing calculator.

    ReactOS should be mormonism

    I disagree. You have MacOS as "Spiritual but not Religious".

    MacOS is Hillsong.

    Also, many of these are not Christian, and many of these are not Linux.

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 6 points 1 week ago

    MacOS is Hillsong.

    I can see that.

    Also, many of these are not Christian, and many of these are not Linux.

    I'm aware.

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    I was really proud of a lot of these jokes by the way. Many are multi-layered.

    Every time I come on here I see another distro I haven’t heard about. This time it was Puppy Linux.

    Wait, ChromeOS was explicitly created to support the institution of chattel slavery? Who knew?!

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 6 points 1 week ago

    Sounds about right to me.

    It was created by google. That's not impossible or even particularly improbable

    FreeBSD is definitely Satanism

    [–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

    It's very Christian to not understand the difference.

    I have to find my damn calculator from 20 years ago?

    Don't worry, you can buy a new one, but they're still the same price...

    Where does that put Judaism? Just a bare Linux kernel without the rest of the OS?

    [–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (5 children)

    Nah Unix should be Zoroastrianism and Judaism should be Minix

    First up: FreeBSD is NOT a Linux distribution, and secondly, is NetBSD so small that it is nowhere to be found?

    Berkeley software distribution β‰  Linux (or gnu+Linux, which is btw not true for all distros.)

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 16 points 1 week ago

    That's part of the joke.

    When was Windows 11, Lineage/Android, MacOS or a fucking TI calculator a proper Linux distro

    [–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

    Lineage/Android

    Only the kernel is called Linux. The userspace is completely different from GNU/Linux but the actual software named Linux is being used. Alpine Linux isn't GNU/Linux either.
