That’s On Me, I Set the Bar Too Low
Absolutely disgusted how you set the pic on the same line
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.
People actually do call it gnu/linux semi-often, dunno why.
I almost always do it facetiously and for meme purposes.
That’s always how it starts…
well actually I’ve taken to calling it “GNU+Linux”
sucks to suck your grub bootloader calls it gnulinux
Shh, don’t tell anyone.
I ise systemd-boot
He’s just mad that the Linux community upstaged HURD
It’s already started.
Gods, now where on earth did we put that copy pasta…
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu Cinnamon, Edubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, Ubuntu Unity
…which are all layers on Debian.
That’s the joke

These are the same picture
We also have it in Chinese
Hanna Montana Linux
So I knew about HML for a while, but today is the first time I learned that the creator also made a song.
The world has never before and never will again see such talent.
Shine on you crazy diamond
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.
It reminds me of conspiracy charts that gets posted on Facebook by your aunt.
I’m a Linux user and that infographic scares me
I love it, and I don’t even use dabian based distros 🤣
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.
Unless you’ve worn the sackcloth and ashes of Slack, don’t even at me and my son…
The flash backs to config files. Sooo many config files everywhere. But tarball are Yum!
as a fellow user I’m always going to downvote this meme. It’s toxic at this point
how is it toxic? Nonsense… just a silly phrase, nothing more.
Its like a platitude but it’s not even well-meaning.
I’m pretty sure my next metal band name is going to be called ‘death by platitudes’ (I’m kidding, but I trust you get the idea…)
Cool, i learned a new word thanks to you!
The phrase is quite the beaten horse at this point, overused and pointless, that i agree with. I think its been overused in part to highlight how silly it is, making the people who use it unironically look like absolute dorks.
Its a little similar to how in Germany, theres a new synonym for cannabis, called ‘Bubatz’. Its origins are unclear, it sounds super silly and has been instrumentalized in the decriminalisation of cannabis. Many people have strong reactions when they hear that word, which in turn motivates other people to keep using that word. It boils down to people wanting to rile up other people for no reason!
the first 10,000 times yeah I can get behind the silly view. The next 90,000 times, it just becomes this tired useless phrase uttered mindlessly to the point that you question the well being of the arch users who utter it. That’s what I mean by toxic. I consider my own sanity for using arch every time I hear this phrase.
I use mint btw
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 otherstinkerers,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.
What’s with nexenta changing colour in between?
Did it change ownership right before going down?Same for beafanatix, which changes the line colour right after the starting dot.
Arch-based is only going to become more of a thing thanks to SteamOS.
Yea, this grafic is pretty outdated already
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.
I like your commitment to the bit
Long ago, I used Debian on my main PC but decided to go with Ubuntu on the laptop because it was easy to set up.
Later I switched to Debian on the laptop, too, because ultimately I felt Ubuntu was just Debian with extra steps.
I could just rattle off random words and they’re probably real distros somewhere
My daily hobby is to go through the english dictionary and make a new distro for each word.
You could almost play the game: “Linux Distro or Weed Strain?”
Debian Ubuntu redhat
Okay okay, we only needed 10.
Edit: Though Ubuntu falls under Debian, so that’s redundant.
Debian, Redhat, Arch, SUSE, Alpine
That’s pretty much all of them
Edit: I forgot Gentoo and Slackware
NixOS, Android, Void, LFS, Tinycore, Puppy

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.
Ubuntu Lubuntu Xubuntu Kubuntu uwuntu Wubuntu Edubuntu Gendbuntu PopOs Mint
Those last two ruined the list smh
Still no love for Elementary
e: if that was genuinely off the dome though, that’s impressive. I hadn’t heard of 3 of them.
Cubuntu is also a thing.
Aubuntu bubuntu
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as…
The OS formerly known as Linux
Arch, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Lindows (the one that was getting sued by macrohard in the past), Mocachino (not added to DW yet but is on their list of ones needing approval or something/LFS based distro), MX Linux, Sparky, Mint, Gentoo, and Fedora were the first ones that popped into my head almost immediately.
