macro

yeah...
- 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.
  
  It reminds me of conspiracy charts that gets posted on Facebook by your aunt.
  
  I'm a Linux user and that infographic scares me

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
- These are the same picture
  
  We also have it in Chinese

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.

- 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.
- Shine on you crazy diamond

There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about...
- 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
- 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.
  
  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.
  
  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.
- Glorious Nixos
  
  Other than my Steam Deck, I daily drive NixOS and it runs on all my servers. Can confirm the glory (hole).
  
  From my Guix to your Nix.
- Arch-based is only going to become more of a thing thanks to SteamOS.
  
  Yea, this grafic is pretty outdated already

I could just rattle off random words and they’re probably real distros somewhere
- You could almost play the game: "Linux Distro or Weed Strain?"
- My daily hobby is to go through the english dictionary and make a new distro for each word.

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.

Ubuntu Lubuntu Xubuntu Kubuntu uwuntu Wubuntu Edubuntu Gendbuntu PopOs Mint
Those last two ruined the list smh
- Still no love for Elementary
  e: if that was genuinely off the dome though, that's impressive. I hadn't heard of 3 of them.
- Cubuntu is also a thing.
  
  Aubuntu bubuntu

Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, Kali.... Honestly all I got.
- Let's Backtrack a little bit
- Mint is based on Ubuntu and Kali/Ubuntu are based on Debian. That is kinda what the meme is about ;)
- Yggdrasil. Rebecca Black. Linspire. Mandriva.
- If you want to name them all, Red Hat, Debian, and Slackware where the OG popular distros that became the foundations of all the distros we have today. I ran them all back then.
  
  Don’t forget Suse 🥲
  
  Arch came somewhat later but is now an established independent distro serving as a base for many many others (Endeavour, Garuda, Manjaro, BlackArch, CachyOS, KDE Linux
  <not to confuse with Neon>
  off the top of my head)
- Pop!_OS
  
  Based on Ubuntu, so: also Debian

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

Let's gooooo
Debian (+Devuan), Ubuntu (+Kubuntu, Lubuntu), Linux Mint, Zorin, KDE Neon, Kali, Parrot, Tails, Raspberry Pi OS
Fedora, RHEL, Nobara, Bazzite, Qubes
OpenSUSE
Arch (+Artix), Manjaro, Garuda, Endeavour, CachyOS, KDE Linux
Slackware
Gentoo, Funtoo
- Just say debian and you already mentioned like 100 distros, that is the point of OP meme, lol
  
  True :)
  Probably the highest amount of derivatives, even if two-thirds are through Ubuntu lol
- Isn’t “Raspberry Pi OS” called “Raspbian”?
  
  That's its old name, sometimes still circulating out of habit. Currently, it is officially called Raspberry Pi OS.
  https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/

They made distros after Slackware?

Out of the loop here what's that meme template/movie?
PS: Joke is good btw ;)
- It's The Pianist, phenomenal movie.

Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, Arch Linux, Slitaz, OpenSUSE, Manjaro, Debian, Crunchbang, Android.

Check his penis.

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?

Debian, Fedora, Arch, Gentoo, Slackware, LFS, Mandravia, OpenSuse, Knoppix, Puppy
And an honorable FreeBSD mention
I've spent a lot of time on the toilet looking at this.
- Hey knoppix! My first distro, first experience of Linux. Something like 2004. Fellow student told me about it, I was already curious but hadn't yet tried any distros yet; they burned me a disk and brought it to class the next day. Was really cool to run a different OS, and to just pop it in and go.

Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Debian, manjaro, arch, mint, suse, red hat, Pop!_OS, Zorin

Debian, fedora ,artix, arco, Linux mint, Linux lite, bazzite, ubuntu, postmarket os, armbian.

Soo, was he shot? I didn't watch this movie
- 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.
  
  "why the fucking coat?!"
- 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...
- we shall never know

LFS

dont forget scientific linux

Let's see what I got.

Debian Ubuntu Mint Fedora Red hat Suse Slackware Gentoo Arch Pop Kali Tails Whonix Lubuntu Kubuntu Manjaro Endeavor Hannah Montana Linux ~~TempleOS~~ (That better? Lmao) AntiX MX Puppy Slax Zorin Silverblue Bazzite SteamOS CentOS Redstar
I know I'm missing some but that should be 10.
- TempleOS isn't a Linux distro
  
  My mistake, for some reason I thought it was based on linux.
  Perhaps unsurprisingly, it isn't exactly an OS I've used lol, I just knew the name and meme.

That's On Me, I Set the Bar Too Low
- Absolutely disgusted how you set the pic on the same line

I think you mean GNU/Linux
- Gods, now where on earth did we put that copy pasta..
- https://youtu.be/fL1VZEQFgdU
- Look Richard no matter how many times you post this, no-one is going to start 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
  
  well actually I've taken to calling it "GNU+Linux"
  
  People actually do call it gnu/linux semi-often, dunno why.
  
  sucks to suck your grub bootloader calls it gnulinux
  
  It's already started.
  
  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.

- 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.
  
  I like your commitment to the bit

Just say Linux and you covered most / many
- "^.*\ Linux$"

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

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as...
- The OS formerly known as Linux

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.

Debian based. Debian? Based!

Linux X?
