Only 5 distros exist: Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, RHEL/Fedora, and built it yourself.

Arch is basically Debian with extra steps. Doesn’t count.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 months ago

It is basically Debian except for it is nothing like Debian.

Nor do I, and I use both Arch and Debian exclusively.

Alpine sort of used but it is pretty niche and is mostly using in containers.

Void and Guix both have tiny market share and lack a use case

Eh ... Mint is Ubuntu based, Ubuntu is Debian based so they're all Debian ... Also Arch? ^I ^use ^Arch ^btw

Arch? Isn’t that just CRUX?

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 5 points 6 months ago

Do you count openSuSE as rhel? Also mint is just Ubuntu, and Ubuntu is not Debian because Ubuntu has more up to date drivers software and what not.

  • 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 will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • 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.
