Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

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

    [–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

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

    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.

    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.

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

    The OS formerly known as Linux

    [–] amino@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago

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

    [–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 week ago (10 children)

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

    [–] justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

    Mint is based on Ubuntu and Kali/Ubuntu are based on Debian. That is kinda what the meme is about ;)

    Out of the loop here what's that meme template/movie?

    PS: Joke is good btw ;)

    [–] micutio@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago

    It's The Pianist, phenomenal movie.

    [–] mumblerfish@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

    Debian based. Debian? Based!

    [–] wer2@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

    They made distros after Slackware?

    [–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

    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.
