Some people don't like snaps
"Some people like snaps" would have been closer to the truth, but it would still be an exaggeration of their numbers.
I bet Mark Shuttleworth likes Snaps.
"A person likes snaps."
There, all covered and more accurate than the original.
You know what? I know they're far from the ideal solution, but I have installed a few things with snaps ... and it was fine. It worked seamlessly and painlessly (in some instances).
Generally, I'd prefer other ways to install, but snaps aren't the end of the world.
(This concludes my hot take of the day.)
CachyOS being the same level as mainstream as Mint and Ubuntu is copium.
It’s the most popular single distro on ProtonDB now, so that’s something
Cachy is growing in popularity a lot. Negative publicity around Ubuntu is driving people to alternatives, and I've heard a lot of people are trying cachy as their first Linux distro.
People are trying cachy as their first Linux distro.
To anyone reading and thinking of switching:
DO NOT use CachyOS as your first distro. You will not like the experience, it was not made with total newbies in mind. It is Arch with a few bells and whistles, and you are not prepared to properly handle Arch, yet. You will get there later, if you want to.
Yeah, even Bazzite is less niche then CachyOS
How is Windows less corporate than MacOS or ChromeOS?
Based on the image, it seems like the argument is that Windows can be installed on a larger variety of devices than the other two
Yeah, but Microsoft shouldn't get credit for that. Windows only works with everything, because everything got built around it.
Drivers are needed for every little bit of hardware, Intel very well might not have become the dominant architecture if Microsoft hadn't picked it in the 80s.
Lots of things wrong with this but one I haven't seen yet is that CachyOS literally depends on ArchLinux, yet is more "independent" than it?
These are terrible axis to try and plot operating systems, and limiting yourself to such low resolution with no overlap doesn't help.
Windows is less corporate than MacOS?
If we're talking hardware restrictions, sure I get it from the walled garden.
LOL at Windows being marked as less corporate than MacOS. They should absolutely be at least tied.
Literal megacorporations have run purely on Windows since the 90s and it’s not S-tier corporate? lol
Arch isn't hard to install (anymore). It takes 5 minutes with archinstall.
btw
How is Debian More niche than cachy?
implying that Arch is niche at this point
if you live antwhere but the USA and Canada, MacOS is a niche, absolutely not mainstream at all, I see more linux users than MacBook users here in Brazil
macs are so rare that someone once screenshared and i was almost asking if that was gnome
Arch Linux breaks if you don't update it often enough
pacman -S archlinux-keyring
It's really that easy
I'd put Haiku on the extreme top left corner (or in one of the two rows below that first column) since it's based on BeOS - it's a corporate OS wether it exits or not and it intends to replicate said corporate OS. In its place I'd put either TempleOS or Plan9.
Replace Haiku with TempleOS
EDIT: Also, put Windows in the top right corner to avoid the "is Microslop or Apple more corporate" discussion.
Fedora isn't based ln RHEL, it was before, but now it's in fact the opposite. As far as I know, RHEL 10 is based on CentOS Stream 10, which in turn is based on Fedora 41.
Arch only breaks if you don't read the wiki.
Update the repo's gpg keys, read the Arch news, do what manual steps they mention and you can update it after a year and it won't break.
Arch only breaks if you don't read the wiki.
Finally found the ultimate reason why I'm not gonna use Arch.
with all due respect to the arch project and all, but I don't wanna do all that just to update my PC
Why is Cachy more independent than Arch?
Technically, if you stop updating arch when it's in a functional state it'll never break.
TL;DR: Winzozz is more corporate than Mac N' Cheese OS
Windows is so corporate, it actually succeeds in being the unquestionable lowest common denominator corpos love so much.
Not that MacOS is the champion and savior of FOSS, but as far as I know, Windows is much more hellbent on backwards compatibility and simply being available on as many types of devices as possible, while Apple at the very least pretends to focus on innovation rather than exponentially increasing profits and universal availability, with Apple products being status symbols and all.
CachyOS a bit to the left. It is not at all mainstream in my bubble.
NixOS on the niche and corporate quadrant.
Pretty much the opposite of Arch Linux.
Its right beside it you goofy goober. :3
Put windows 10 just below windows 11
I wouldn't play the game. Just eat your flavor of ice cream.
Hint: :q!
