  • 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.

    I'll add more distro from the suggestion in the comments.

    If you want to do it yourself here the clean map.

    Made with Gimp 3.0.6

    This reminds me of my "Linux island" city in Cities Skylines! I can get screenshots later, but basically there's the main island of the Linux distros/districts, where the outer parts are more noob friendly and the inner parts are more "advanced", with the nearby, considerably more crowded and poorer Android island consisting of various Android ROMs.

    [โ€“] BaraCoded@literature.cafe 5 points 1 month ago

    Oh god, I'm in the hidden Manjaro slums

    [โ€“] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

    Thought this was the island from Pokรฉmon Snap, at first

    Unraid probably is in the pay resort area as well.

    [โ€“] voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

    Red Hat as well

    Nobara Linux is missing from gaming

    [โ€“] ekZepp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago
    [โ€“] mlg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

    Kali, ParrotOS, and BlackArch are the B-52s flying overhead out of the frame

    I love this! Super fun!

    I so want to see how you depict Yggdrassyl, though, the very first and only distro released by Linus himself

    [โ€“] Digit@lemmy.wtf 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Biebian should be somewhere among the stars like Hannah Montana Linux

    How does Debian get so far up north?

    [โ€“] Siegfried@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

    Yeah.... how did we get that up north? Im a 15 year debian noob. I just spawn on the top of the mountain apparently and now I live in fear of looking down.

    can you add silver blue and co to the dark forest next to Fedora

    Iโ€™ve added so much to my OS tree it looks like a forest where you can get lost forever.ย 

    [โ€“] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Void should be a like a barely connected fishing village.

    huh, why's manjaro got battle damage on its logo?

    [โ€“] Gueoris@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

    I would add DeepinOs in an ultra-modern, automatic-opening building shaped like a trash can.

    slackware catching some flak there

    [โ€“] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    What distro is represented by the Tux of the Deep there? Just lurking beneath the waves?

    [โ€“] mech@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

    Deepin Linux, of course.

    [โ€“] randomwords@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Void Linux! There are single digits of us!

    [โ€“] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I haven't attempted to run Void Linux in years, so, a question for you:

    Can you run Steam on it?

    [โ€“] randomwords@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Yes you can. It is in the non-free repo.

    [โ€“] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Neat! I did not know that!

    Maybe I'll give it another spin sometime =D

    [โ€“] randomwords@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

    I would recommend using the glibc version if your goal is gaming.

    Where are the "elitist gatekeepers" screaming "you need to learn shell scripting and vim!" with an Omarchy logo?

    Is ZorinOS really considered a paid distro? It's my main one and though it has indeed a paid version, the fact that it brings nothing more than extra desktop presets and preinstalled softwares made me think that it was closer to a donation system with rewards than to actual paid version. I wonder if that's a shared sentiment or if I'm thinking less strictly than most people.

    [โ€“] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

    Can we maybe have Void Linux as like, an entrance to a foreboding cave of some kind?

    I'm... trying to figure out if you could make the 'topology' here work with non system d variants of linux, but I can't figure out how.

    The uwuntu-nyarch-Linuwux triad are caves hidden below the mountain
