Absolutely disgusted how you set the pic on the same line
I think you mean GNU/Linux
Look Richard no matter how many times you post this, no-one is going to start calling it GNU/Linux.
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.
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.

Debian GNU/Linux has been called Debian GNU/Linux since at least 1997 https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1997/msg00013.html
People actually do call it gnu/linux semi-often, dunno why.
well actually I've taken to calling it "GNU+Linux"

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.
Hanna Montana Linux
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!
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.
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.
I could just rattle off random words and theyβre probably real distros somewhere
My daily hobby is to go through the english dictionary and make a new distro for each word.

Debian Ubuntu redhat
Okay okay, we only needed 10.
Edit: Though Ubuntu falls under Debian, so that's redundant.

Just say Linux and you covered most / many
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.
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.
WSL, Mac OS, Richard Stallman, GNU, the cloud
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.
Out of the loop here what's that meme template/movie?
PS: Joke is good btw ;)
Debian based. Debian? Based!
They made distros after Slackware?
