This is the biggest bait ever hahaha.

Android below red hat in corporate/authoritarian and equal to Ubuntu 😂 the OS that is trying to take away installing apps not from them and trying to fully track app developers while not giving a damn about malware that effects the user because it doesn't effect their bottom line?

[-] traxex@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Well, I guess AOSP vs Googles Android.

Arch Linux

  • breaks if you don't update it often enough
  • breaks if you update
[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

never happened to me on arch

has happened to me on cachyos tho, with plasma 6.6 (switching back to arch, plasma 6.6 has no issues)

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Suggestion for the top-right corner: ImmigrationOS by Palantir.

  • Made for people too unfit and dumb for even be a police officer.
  • Made for a literal genocide.
  • Its devs and users will hopefully face consequences.
[-] Infernal_pizza@lemmy.dbzer0.com 99 points 3 days ago

How is "wait 24 hours before installing an app" Android less corporate/authoritarian than Windows? Plus most Android devices are stuck running Android whereas you can always replace Windows with Linux

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 34 points 3 days ago

I think they meant the AOSP but technically most people also call that Android

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 days ago

AOSP, the operating system that nobody actually installs on anything. It’s about as niche as could possibly be, considering the only reason you’d install it is to work on the code.

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 3 days ago

For aesthetic reasons the chart only allows one OS per square, and any other arrangement would put Windows dangerously low. At least Android is mostly open-source.

[-] mr_anny@sopuli.xyz 15 points 3 days ago

There's two squares for windows.

Update: I now have nobara. Kept windows in case I dont like it on the long term or something goes wrong. Nobara looked kinda more "noob oriented" than cachy. Had some issue to launch games that were previously installed, did some random things and it worked.

Everything went much easier than I expected!

“Open source unlike iOS”

Lol.

AOSP hasn’t been a complete operating system in a long time, so don’t tell me Android is open source. It’s open source in the same way iOS is, the way that doesn’t matter.

[-] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

To be fair though, you can build a more open android distribution like Graphene or Lineage, which you can't do with iOS. Still an awful platform though

Wasn't there a north korean OS that would perfectly fill the upper left space?

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 9 points 2 days ago

Right there, just outside the graph!

[-] Fafa@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Ah wow. I recognize it now.

[-] coriza@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago

No TempleOS no HannaMontanaLinux and you call it a meme? How dare you.

[-] gex@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

TempleOS is at the bottom left, at the margin

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

Wrong place for it, God's own OS should be maximum authority

Am I the only one who thinks this doesn't fit for the most of all?

Apple upper left, Windows upper right, BSD down left and Linux down right. End of the story.

[-] Stitch0815@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago

Linux down right

My brother or sister

When was the last time you left the house?

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

apple upper left makes sense, since it's only actually popular in the US.

windows upper right makes sense, since it's the most used desktop OS.

BSD lower left makes sense, since it's extremely rare for anyone to use it.

linux lower right... makes sense, but only if you consider servers. linux desktop usage would be closer to lower middle, or, depending on the distro, closer to the middle in general

[-] Antaeus@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago

“Some people don’t like snap”. I had the suspicion is was most people don’t like snap.

[-] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 28 points 3 days ago

I'm yet to find a person who likes Snap, actually. Even if you prefer that way of installation, people just go to Flatpak.

This is absolutely terrible.

[-] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 31 points 3 days ago

Android is surveillance capitalism embodied

[-] Barry@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

That might be the sign I waited to switch to Linux. Now... let me just search for the coolest noob friendly distro

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Do it! It's so easy. It's also easy to build it up in your head like it's this big complicated thing. It's not. When I finally did it my first thought was "why didn't I do this sooner?"

I've been happily using mint for years. Do it.

[-] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Mint. Really. It basically just works. A decrapified Ubuntu.

I'm on CachyOS right now, and love it. I call it "Script Kiddie Arch". Really nice, but it took some tweaking for my particular setup, no driver stuff, rather my use case.

Since it may require mild terminal stuff, and using the AUR, I'd say it's an intermediate/advance user distro, although it may just work for you.

[-] nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Only asterisk I'd add to that is that if your plan is to do any more gaming than just basic stuff I'd go straight to CachyOS, or maybe Fedora KDE, openSUSE Tumbleweed or anything similar.

Mint is great for basic usage, but right now that kinda also locks you into X11. So if you plan to use multiple monitor at different framerates, VRR, HDR or generally better frame-pacing you need Wayland, preferably KDE or Gnome, and Mint just isn't there yet. Emphasis on the -yet- though. Once they've overcome that hurdle it'll probably become THE unconditional beginner distro once again.

[-] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

A rolling release distro like openSUSE Tumbleweed is not for noobs.

[-] nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I know this is one of my hotter takes, but IMO rolling release vs. stable has no influence on how beginner-friendly a distro is, at least not in a one-size-fits-all manner.

Particularly for gaming, I'd say a rolling release distro is much better because bugs with new games and hardware will be gone much faster than what you'd see in something slower moving.

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Regular use: Mint

Gaming: Nobara, Bazzite

[-] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

mint, pop_os, bazzite, fedora, nobara, mx, cachy, zorin

the coolest of those is cachyos probably

bazzite and cachy are intended for gaming but also sutied to other usage

more in detail:

  • mint is basically ubuntu without the bad things (snap and canonicals other bullshit)
  • pop_os is basically the same thing done differently
  • bazzite is immutable (parts of the filesystem are read only, features easy update rollback) and fedora based and intended for gaming
  • fedora is a simple and universal desktop distro that tends to try out new interesting technologies
  • nobara is fedora with a few improvements
  • mx is a simple and easy debian based distro
  • cachy is arch but not difficult, has normal stuff preinstalled unlike arch, and is intended for gamers and is intended to let normies be power users
  • zorin is another de-canonical-ed ubuntu but weird, it is kinda corporate
[-] scbasteve@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I use nobara. Which, if you google 'best linux for gaming', its the first thing that pops up. I have no idea if its actually the best, but i havent had any issues so far.

steamos goes either above ubuntu or to the right of it or where ubuntu is

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

This is a much better version than the last one.

Needs TempleOS outside of the box

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

TempleOS is outside of the box

I think that GrapheneOS is an amazing underappreciated project and deserves more attention.
