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
I love it, and I don’t even use dabian based distros 🤣
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
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
*Pam from The Office Meme*
*McBain meme*
*Epic handshake meme*
These are the same picture
We also have it in Chinese
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.
There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about…
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.
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
Arch-based is only going to become more of a thing thanks to SteamOS.
Yea, this grafic is pretty outdated already
Glorious Nixos
From my Guix to your Nix.
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.
Chimera Linux, Linux with the BSD user-space. No GNU.
No systemd, either, so double-bonus.
It’s proprietary so, no thanks.
Proprietary? Wherever did you get that idea?
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.
You’re an init system and just has not played the same role in the development of GNU/Linux distributions like GNU has.
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.
Debian GNU/Linux has been called Debian GNU/Linux since at least 1997 https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1997/msg00013.html
well actually I’ve taken to calling it “GNU+Linux”
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…
sucks to suck your grub bootloader calls it gnulinux
Shh, don’t tell anyone.
I ise systemd-boot
It’s already started.
Gods, now where on earth did we put that copy pasta…
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
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.
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
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.
That’s my bad. I set the bar too low.
Check his penis.
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
Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, Kali… Honestly all I got.
Mint is based on Ubuntu and Kali/Ubuntu are based on Debian. That is kinda what the meme is about ;)
Yggdrasil. Rebecca Black. Linspire. Mandriva.
If you want to name them all, Red Hat, Debian, and Slackware where the OG popular distros that became the foundations of all the distros we have today. I ran them all back then.
Don’t forget Suse 🥲
Oh no, I haven’t forgotten SuSe. But it’s not an OG distro. It’s based off of Red Hat. Though I thought it was always a better version of Mandrake than Mandrake ever was. (I wonder what TexStar is doing these days…)
I’ve installed and used it several times over the years and thought it was a fine distro. I have never understood why it’s not more to the forefront with it’s rolling release. If you like RPM based distros, SuSe is one to check out for sure.
Umm, either wikipedia is wrong, or SUSE use went into the future:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSUSE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux
Oooor,
you are talking complete bullshit 🤔
Arch came somewhat later but is now an established independent distro serving as a base for many many others (Endeavour, Garuda, Manjaro, BlackArch, CachyOS, KDE Linux <not to confuse with Neon> off the top of my head)
Pop!_OS
Based on Ubuntu, so: also Debian
Let’s gooooo
Debian (+Devuan), Ubuntu (+Kubuntu, Lubuntu), Linux Mint, Zorin, KDE Neon, Kali, Parrot, Tails, Raspberry Pi OS
Fedora, RHEL, Nobara, Bazzite, Qubes
OpenSUSE
Arch (+Artix), Manjaro, Garuda, Endeavour, CachyOS, KDE Linux
Slackware
Gentoo, Funtoo
Just say debian and you already mentioned like 100 distros, that is the point of OP meme, lol
True :)
Probably the highest amount of derivatives, even if two-thirds are through Ubuntu lol
Isn’t “Raspberry Pi OS” called “Raspbian”?
That’s its old name, sometimes still circulating out of habit. Currently, it is officially called Raspberry Pi OS.
