LFS
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.
There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about…
Arch-based is only going to become more of a thing thanks to SteamOS.
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.
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.
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.
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
I use mint btw
how is it toxic? Nonsense… just a silly phrase, nothing more.
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.
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!

Shine on you crazy diamond
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.
WSL, Mac OS, Richard Stallman, GNU, the cloud
They made distros after Slackware?
Linux X?
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
Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, Arch Linux, Slitaz, OpenSUSE, Manjaro, Debian, Crunchbang, Android.
Debian, devuan, arch, artix, nixos, guixSD, gentoo, funtoo, slackware, lfs
LFS aint a distro tho. it’s a guide.
It’s not even that. It’s a path to madness.
Wouldn’t it be a distro if you package the end result and distribute it?
distros need package managers. I mean hell, one could argue that distros are package managers
Check his penis.
Soo, was he shot? I didn’t watch this movie
Is this inglorious bastards? Anyway, debian is the correct answer, because all the downstream are just debian to me
It’s The Pianist. And it is an incredible movie, Adrien Brody does a masterful performance. You should absolutely watch it. Not a feel good movie at all…
They start shooting when they first see him and he takes cover on the building we see behind them. He calls out that he’s a Polish civilian, not a German soldier. They tell him to come out with his hands up. They ask “why the (German military uniform) coat?”, he says, “I was cold”. He stripped it off a dead man.
The coat was given to him by a German officer, which also provided him with some food while he was hidden in the attic of a large abandoned house the Germans had taken over to use as base of operations. The officer gave him the coat on the night they retreated from the Russians, which are the dudes in the middlest frame.
we shall never know
I think you mean GNU/Linux
Gods, now where on earth did we put that copy pasta…
Look Richard no matter how many times you post this, no-one is going to start 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…
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.
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.
It’s already started.
well actually I’ve taken to calling it “GNU+Linux”
He’s just mad that the Linux community upstaged HURD
Debian GNU/Linux has been called Debian GNU/Linux since at least 1997 https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1997/msg00013.html
sucks to suck your grub bootloader calls it gnulinux
Shh, don’t tell anyone.
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
