1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    I think you're missing quite a few like:

    • z/OS it's IBM's mainframe OS, so super corporate and niche
    • raspberry pi os should be included because it's pretty mainstream
    • android and iOS should be on there because they're very mainstream, not technically desktop OSs but for a normie with a tablet what's the difference?
    • there's a lot of embedded OSs that could be added (open WRT, Windows IoT, NetBSD)
    • no Temple OS?
    • free DOS?
    • Whatever special ones they use for super mission critical stuff like the ISS

    I wouldn't play the game. Just eat your flavor of ice cream.

    You call haiku old fashioned.... Linux is based on os design from 30 years before that.

    SUSE just one down from RedHat

    [–] Jiral@lemmy.org 6 points 5 months ago

    Not to be confused with openSUSE though, even if there is some overlap. Maybe that one is down another step.

    GUIX top left

    • dictates to the OS how it has to be
    • requires a lot of reading theory
    • no ties to anduril

    nixOS top right

    • dictates to the OS how it has to be
    • recruits people snatchers

    context 1
    context 2

    Edit: Ah I missed the axes are not labeled like the common political compass. Nvm then. Put NixOS above RHEL and guix above arch.

    The "never breaks" under debian is such a bold and false claim lol.

    Try to run a modern high dpi laptop with a debian; you ll quickly find yourself installing from "testing" instead of "stable", otherwise it wont even start X11. Oh, i see you mixed up some packages from "stable" into your "testing"? Shame, have fun reinstalling your OS

    Sure "skill issue". But Debian was the only distro I was able to break. Twice. Because first time I didnt understand what happened

    Windows 11 should be up one more with windows 10 in its place

    [–] Maragato@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

    Why isn't openSUSE included in that table?

    [–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Ubuntu easiest Linux distro

    Hahaha it's a noob bait

    [–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 months ago

    hasn't been the easiest in about 7 years haha

    [–] waz@feddit.uk 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    linux mint, but Debian edition, i feel is left of the centre split, but only a bit.

    [–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 months ago (4 children)

    Yeah I don't get what corporate means here. Debian was basically the corporate standard for a long while. Ubuntu was personal use

    Fedora is basically a testing ground for the next RHEL release.

    [–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 months ago (3 children)

    RedHat: noooo, fedora's definitely for sure independent. you're not just doing free labor for IBM

    I would replace the political compass colour scheme to avoid confusion. mint , ubuntu and cachy should be the furtherst right. debian should be where mint is, or with fedora one step to the right. windows should be top right.

    Add some of the newer distros like steamOs, void linux, etc

    pretty much the opposite of arch linux

    right next to arch linux

    What is this horseshoe theory doing in my linux funny?

    [–] mimavox@piefed.social 5 points 5 months ago (3 children)

    Hmm, I don't see how Corporate can be on a scale though. Either the distro is run by a corporation, or it's not.
