That's On Me, I Set the Bar Too Low

[-] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 82 points 1 month ago

I think you mean GNU/Linux

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 87 points 1 month ago

Look Richard no matter how many times you post this, no-one is going to start calling it GNU/Linux.

[-] sxan@midwest.social 63 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] cqst 9 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] sxan@midwest.social 7 points 1 month ago

Chimera Linux, Linux with the BSD user-space. No GNU.

No systemd, either, so double-bonus.

But now we have systemd so GNU can get fucked, bitch.

People actually do call it gnu/linux semi-often, dunno why.

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I almost always do it facetiously and for meme purposes.

Debian GNU/Linux has been called Debian GNU/Linux since at least 1997 https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1997/msg00013.html

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

well actually I've taken to calling it "GNU+Linux"

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.

[-] Statick@programming.dev 8 points 1 month ago

I'm a Linux user and that infographic scares me

There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about...

[-] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 1 month ago

I use Arch btw

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 others~~ tinkerers,,

there is openSUSE, which is like redhat but german.

Arch-based is only going to become more of a thing thanks to SteamOS.

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.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

I like your commitment to the bit

[-] umbraroze@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

I could just rattle off random words and they’re probably real distros somewhere

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

My daily hobby is to go through the english dictionary and make a new distro for each word.

Just say Linux and you covered most / many

[-] Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 month ago

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as...

[-] passiveaggressivesonar@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

The OS formerly known as Linux

[-] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Debian Ubuntu redhat

[-] Metostopholes@midwest.social 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Okay okay, we only needed 10.

Edit: Though Ubuntu falls under Debian, so that's redundant.

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.

WSL, Mac OS, Richard Stallman, GNU, the cloud

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Arch, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Lindows (the one that was getting sued by macrohard in the past), Mocachino (not added to DW yet but is on their list of ones needing approval or something/LFS based distro), MX Linux, Sparky, Mint, Gentoo, and Fedora were the first ones that popped into my head almost immediately.

[-] Kevnyon@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, Kali.... Honestly all I got.
