A lot of FreeBSD development is done by companies like Netflix, who use FreeBSD for their edge catching due to its performance and simplicity advantage over Linux

Where do we put QubesOS
My take
I love where mint is and i love that I'm there with it.
Might try cachy someday
Was bazzite on here? Did i just not see it?
I would flip the whole chart diagonally so it lines up better with the political compass. I'd equate "corporate" with "right" instead of "authoritarian," and "niche" with "libertarian" instead of "left." Also, I would replace "independent" with "community/nonprofit."

Almost all of it
RHEL is based on Fedora. Same with SLES with OpenSUSE and others
And Ubuntu isnt really easy
And Gentoo has binary packages
PikaOS right under debian
Windows (either 11 or 10) needs to be in the top right corner. MacOS should be one notch down vertically. Ubuntu and mint both move one notch right. Cachy moves one notch left. Gentoo moves two to the right.
I am not sure I understand your logic behind Cachy and Gentoo. Cachy is actually quite mainstream now and Gentoo is... less so.
I think there's just not enough tiles here. FreeBSD is definitely more mainstream than Haiku, but less so than Gentoo, let alone Arch.
Bazzite right of Cachy.
Windows top right
Rhel is corporate, doesn't belong in authleft.
