MODERATORS
First up: FreeBSD is NOT a Linux distribution, and secondly, is NetBSD so small that it is nowhere to be found?
Berkeley software distribution β Linux (or gnu+Linux, which is btw not true for all distros.)
That's part of the joke.
When was Windows 11, Lineage/Android, MacOS or a fucking TI calculator a proper Linux distro
I disagree. You have MacOS as "Spiritual but not Religious".
MacOS is Hillsong.
Also, many of these are not Christian, and many of these are not Linux.
MacOS is Hillsong.
I can see that.
Also, many of these are not Christian, and many of these are not Linux.
I'm aware.
Wait, ChromeOS was explicitly created to support the institution of chattel slavery? Who knew?!
Sounds about right to me.
It was created by google. That's not impossible or even particularly improbable
How do I know this isn't proganda from Big Christianity?
~guess this chart makes me metheodist tho~
Well, I am Anglican...
FreeBSD is definitely Satanism
It's very Christian to not understand the difference.
Heaven's Gate: TempleOS
Tihi
Apparently I'm a non denominational evangelican btw
Each AI content get us closer to facebook wishes
ReactOS should be mormonism
~~It's not Linux, thus not even "Christian"~~
I just noticed, that the scheme also includes e.g. "Atheism" and "pagan", which aren't Christian denominations either.
Well to be fair, atheism and pagan also are assigned to non-Linux OSes here.
Yes, the title of the scheme is confusing.
I really thought more people in this group would get that joke.
I have to find my damn calculator from 20 years ago?
Don't worry, you can buy a new one, but they're still the same price...
But at least with inflation...
Islam is Android
Android is very technically Linux. So it can't be Islam.
Islam is still an Abrahamic religion, but doesn't recognize Jesus as more than a prophet. So, NetBSD.
What about Gnostics? I feel there is some severe underrepresentation for my favourite flavour of heretics.
Contemporary Gnostics would be Hanna Montana Linux.
That would be Linux from Scrarch, I think.
Unitarian Universalism
To stick to the theme of my chart, since Unitarian Universalism is non-trinitarian it would likely need to be a Unix-like OS that isn't Linux. I would give it OpenSolaris. (And that's a compliment.)
I think several on your chart donβt believe in the Trinity? Pretty sure LDS, JW, and at least some Pentecostal? I think they all self-identify as Christian, though, but some Unitarians might not? Is that the difference?
That's my exact thought process. I put LDS at Android because they do identify as Christian, but we are really stretching the definition of what technically counts as Christian.
Honestly I don't know as much as I ought to about UU, but I didn't think that they generally identify as Christian.

ok but linux mint was my first distro and i did grow up methodist through my parents
If I go distro->religion then I guess I'm Orthodox.
If I go religion->distro then I guess I need to start using a TI graphing calculator.
I feel like you made this chart for me specifically, so thank you
Slackware really should be Church of the Subgenius.
I was really proud of a lot of these jokes by the way. Many are multi-layered.
Which I would appreciate ... if I had the least idea about Christian sects in the US.
I understand very few of these, except for arch, slack and the bottom row.
How is ope suse and chrome Os related? Are baptist and southern baptist very different?
Northern baptists were decentralized abolitionists, while southern baptists were centralized and pro-slavery.
