niche but slightly corporate?
Technically, if you stop updating arch when it's in a functional state it'll never break.
agreed. thats where I went wrong with my poor ee-pc. I went 3 years without updating it and it worked like a charm, then decided to try and update it. every source was dead, including the keyring. Manually fixed the ring, half the packages failed to update even with valid sources. Had to disable all package verification.
I then made the mistake of "Well surly a fresh install will be easier than trying to fix this broken mess".... I have not had a functional wifi management service since. None of them support the system anymore as the arch was discontinued officially a few years ago, and the only way I can connect to wifi now is via command line without network memory or saving.
the only way I can connect to wifi now is via command line
On the plus side, you'll look like a super-leet haxor to your friends when you do this in front of them. Be sure to say, "Okay, I'm in" once it connects.
agreed! I just wish that I didn't need to do 6 commands to actually connect to wifi!
I mean, you can put them in a script and bind it to a hotkey, no?
I Actually had attempted to do that via a service, It didn't work. And at that point, I had spent a few hours trying to get it connected to the internet alone so I was already frustrated and was happy enough that it was able to at least connect again. Telling myself I'll go back to it later. Guess what never happend π¦
When I bother testing it again, I will attempt to fix the service for it. Although in a perfect world it would be nice to have it remember passwords that way the startup is just having it connect to the already saved network, but I don't believe that's going to get fixed any time soon.
You might be right and binding it to a key binding may end up being the easier route.

The "never breaks" under debian is such a bold and false claim lol.
Try to run a modern high dpi laptop with a debian; you ll quickly find yourself installing from "testing" instead of "stable", otherwise it wont even start X11. Oh, i see you mixed up some packages from "stable" into your "testing"? Shame, have fun reinstalling your OS
Sure "skill issue". But Debian was the only distro I was able to break. Twice. Because first time I didnt understand what happened
PikaOS right under debian
Windows 11 should be up one more with windows 10 in its place
pretty much the opposite of arch linux
right next to arch linux
What is this horseshoe theory doing in my linux funny?
You call haiku old fashioned.... Linux is based on os design from 30 years before that.
I think itβs a bit different since Haiku is kind of closer to BeOS as frozen in time around 2002, and thereβs not a lot of new ground being broken there. Yes, Linux is based on UNIX but thereβs been a lot of change since then.

Iβd shift mint over one to the right and in its place slot Bazzite.
Almost all of it
I would replace the political compass colour scheme to avoid confusion. mint , ubuntu and cachy should be the furtherst right. debian should be where mint is, or with fedora one step to the right. windows should be top right.
Add some of the newer distros like steamOs, void linux, etc
Also move upbuntu north one square
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
RHEL is based on Fedora. Same with SLES with OpenSUSE and others
And Ubuntu isnt really easy
And Gentoo has binary packages
linux mint, but Debian edition, i feel is left of the centre split, but only a bit.
Yeah I don't get what corporate means here. Debian was basically the corporate standard for a long while. Ubuntu was personal use
Debian is also the opposite of corporate since it's a community project where the community aspect is central with democratic voting and no corporate control.

Add another square at the bottom left of the grid that breaks out of the grid on both directions and contains OpenBSD.

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."
