...which are all layers on Debian.
That's the joke
yeah...
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.
I'm a Linux user and that infographic scares me
It reminds me of conspiracy charts that gets posted on Facebook by your aunt.
That's On Me, I Set the Bar Too Low 
Absolutely disgusted how you set the pic on the same line
There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about...
I use Arch btw
Me too! I love my Steam Deck.
Glorious Nixos
From my Guix to your Nix.
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.
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.
Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, Kali.... Honestly all I got.
Let's Backtrack a little bit
I could just rattle off random words and theyβre probably real distros somewhere
You could almost play the game: "Linux Distro or Weed Strain?"
My daily hobby is to go through the english dictionary and make a new distro for each word.
Debian, Devuan, Arch, Manjaro, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Mint, Raspbian, LibreElec, Tuxedo OS.
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.
You've named all the good ones. We should hang out.
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.
Soo, was he shot? I didn't watch this movie
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.
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.
Let's see what I got.
Debian
Ubuntu
Mint
Fedora
Red hat
Suse
Slackware
Gentoo
Arch
Pop
Kali
Tails
Whonix
Lubuntu

Manjaro
Endeavor
Hannah Montana Linux
~~TempleOS~~ (That better? Lmao)

I know I'm missing some but that should be 10.
TempleOS isn't a Linux distro
I think you mean GNU/Linux
Look Richard no matter how many times you post this, no-one is going to start calling it GNU/Linux.
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.
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.
But now we have systemd so GNU can get fucked, bitch.
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.
Still tho, gnu can suck my cock
If it could I'm sure a lot more people would be willing to call it GNU/Linux.
Chimera Linux, Linux with the BSD user-space. No GNU.
No systemd, either, so double-bonus.
It's proprietary so, no thanks.
He's just mad that the Linux community upstaged HURD
People actually do call it gnu/linux semi-often, dunno why.
I almost always do it facetiously and for meme purposes.
sucks to suck your grub bootloader calls it gnulinux
I ise systemd-boot
