    Man, this infographic is like, EXACTLY why people are scared of Linux, lol.

    It has a lot of good info but it's just so overloaded. Can't decide what story it wants to tell so it tells like 7 of them.

    It reminds me of conspiracy charts that gets posted on Facebook by your aunt.

    Absolutely disgusted how you set the pic on the same line

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about...

    Other than my Steam Deck, I daily drive NixOS and it runs on all my servers. Can confirm the glory (hole).

    Here's a picture of the linux distro family tree:

    There's Debian, the distro.

    There's Redhat/Fedora, which is commercial,

    there's gentoo, where on installation, everything is compiled from source.

    There is slackware, mostly for historical purposes (it was the first distro),

    there's arch for ~~people who want to feel they're better than others~~ tinkerers,,

    there is openSUSE, which is like redhat but german.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

    Slackware is the oldest distribution which is still active. I remember Yggdrasil came before it, and I'm looking it up, I see that Slackware was based on the earlier SLS.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, Kali.... Honestly all I got.

    Let's Backtrack a little bit

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    I could just rattle off random words and they’re probably real distros somewhere

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

    You could almost play the game: "Linux Distro or Weed Strain?"

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

    My daily hobby is to go through the english dictionary and make a new distro for each word.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

    Debian, Devuan, Arch, Manjaro, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Mint, Raspbian, LibreElec, Tuxedo OS.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Off the top of my head:

    OpenSuSE, Gentoo, Arch, Debian, Mandrake, Damn Small Linux, Puppy Linux, Backtrack Linux, Slackware, CentOS

    Some of these have changed names or stopped being supported, unfortunately.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

    You've named all the good ones. We should hang out.

    Soo, was he shot? I didn't watch this movie

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    They start shooting when they first see him and he takes cover on the building we see behind them. He calls out that he's a Polish civilian, not a German soldier. They tell him to come out with his hands up. They ask "why the (German military uniform) coat?", he says, "I was cold". He stripped it off a dead man.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    The coat was given to him by a German officer, which also provided him with some food while he was hidden in the attic of a large abandoned house the Germans had taken over to use as base of operations. The officer gave him the coat on the night they retreated from the Russians, which are the dudes in the middlest frame.

    It's been so long since I watched it. I've been meaning to rewatch it for a while.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

    This movie is the best. I remember I used to sit in my dads recliner and eat ice cream and just watch this all day while my parents weren't home. Then it'd freak me out and I'd have to turn it off till I got the courage to watch a bit more.

    TempleOS isn't a Linux distro

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I think you mean GNU/Linux

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (4 children)

    Look Richard no matter how many times you post this, no-one is going to start calling it GNU/Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

    He's just mad that the Linux community upstaged HURD

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    In fact, systemd is arguable a more important component covering more aspects of system function in a lot of distributions: home mounting, boot process, logging, init, cron... I'm going to start calling it systemd/Linux, just to mess with Stallman.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    Uh no, it's not. GNU has been integral to the GNU/Linux project for years. Without GCC, coreutils, glibc, there would be no linux distributions. Systemd has not played the same role.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    But now we have systemd so GNU can get fucked, bitch.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    systemd is an init system and just has not played the same role in the development of GNU/Linux distributions like GNU has. before systemd there was sysvinit, and there are number of alternate init systems. It's not about system functionality that we name operating systems.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Still tho, gnu can suck my cock

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

    If it could I'm sure a lot more people would be willing to call it GNU/Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Chimera Linux, Linux with the BSD user-space. No GNU.

    No systemd, either, so double-bonus.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

    It's proprietary so, no thanks.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    People actually do call it gnu/linux semi-often, dunno why.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

    I almost always do it facetiously and for meme purposes.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    sucks to suck your grub bootloader calls it gnulinux

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

    I ise systemd-boot
