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.
Let’s see what I got.
Debian Ubuntu Mint Fedora Red hat Suse Slackware Gentoo Arch Pop Kali Tails Whonix Lubuntu Kubuntu Manjaro Endeavor Hannah Montana Linux ~~TempleOS~~ (That better? Lmao) AntiX MX Puppy Slax Zorin Silverblue Bazzite SteamOS CentOS RedstarI know I’m missing some but that should be 10.
TempleOS isn’t a Linux distro
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.
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.
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.
