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.
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.

People actually do call it gnu/linux semi-often, dunno why.
I almost always do it facetiously and for meme purposes.

well actually I've taken to calling it "GNU+Linux"
Debian GNU/Linux has been called Debian GNU/Linux since at least 1997 https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1997/msg00013.html

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

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.

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.

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.

Debian Ubuntu redhat
Okay okay, we only needed 10.
Edit: Though Ubuntu falls under Debian, so that's redundant.

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.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as...
The OS formerly known as Linux
WSL, Mac OS, Richard Stallman, GNU, the cloud
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.
Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, Kali.... Honestly all I got.

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
