GNOME vs. KDE

I initially typed "Suse and Red Hat" but then I changed it to say Fedora because I wanted to avoid some pedantic comments about "But Red Hat doesn't exist anymore!" or on the opposite extreme, reductive inaccuracies like "But Red Hat is for enterprise!"

In other words, your comment is very valid. I also thought about just saying "RPM-based distros" because your initial list didn't have any.

And I thought about mentioning Mandriva separately, but I know that was originally a Red Hat fork, and also now we're kinda getting into the weeds...

Pulseaudio.

Mr Torvalds and his now favourite AI toy.

Vi/Emacs, and get off my lawn

dpkg apt aptitude

Which reminds me of X11 / Wayland

Snap is more of a cancer then package manager

Oh I don't mean derivatives doesn't count. As their own. I mean when saying "debian" you don't say "Ubuntu". Just say both

zypper

cargo, pip, npm

...I'll show myself the door.

Pronounced "guh-nome" and "kitty"

Mint, Ubuntu, Kali, Arch, Graphene, Nyx, AmogOS (weird but still a distro), Neon, Manjaro, OPENsuse. So I know loads I guess

Also What's wrong with Debian.

Nothing except that the packages are far too old at least in stable, which is not an issue unless you are making your own biased distro tier list. The joke about Debian was that every Debian/Ubuntu based distro is just Debian.

There's so little wrong with debian that 80% of distros ARE Debian.

The joke is that most distros are based on Debian.

You've got two so far.

What about xfce? That's what i run.

Slackware, debian, arch, suse, gentoo, Linux from scratch,...

Damn I'm old.

Can you name 10 base/independent distros?

Congrats for repeating someone else's joke louder

Should've been this meme format

rpm/dpkg is the package format. apt/dnf/zypper is the system that downloads, unarchives, and moves files into place.

Debian, OpenSUSE, Fedora, Arch, GuixSD, NixOS, Slack, Gentoo, LFS, and I want to say... Knoppix?

rpm and dpkg are also programs that are used for a number of local operations.

There is only 1 distro. And it's Hannah Montana!

This comment officer. This is the one that hurt me.

Rust

Knoppix is a fun one :) Didn't know it was independent.

True. There's... a lot to unpack with this.

Package Management is weird.

Uh, I guess he was thinking in terms of distros using .DEB packages via APT. Ubuntu, Kali, Debian, and so many alone use DEB packages.

what else is out there?

Vi isn't really an operating system.

It is really just about the last panel, but that didn't came without the other three, so...

i'm constantly switching back and forth between them as well as helix. I like them all.

I felt the same way, but have been finding Ubuntu Core to be a nifty OS for running as a VM.

it's a solid choice. i respect it.

wayland

snaps v flatpak v appimages

Should be...

You're a Linux user, name every distro...

Debian, Arch, Fedora.

Yeah, I was afraid to respond similarly thinking shit, I'll start naming rare or abandoned distros if I do.

Linux dude since slackware make menu_config;make modules modules_install

Fedora, red hat Linux, bazzite, secureblue, rocky Linux, alma Linux, bluefin, nobara, aurora, ultramarine

Fedora, red hat Linux, bazzite, secureblue, rocky Linux, alma Linux, bluefin, nobara, aurora, ultramarine

"Don't shoot! I'm a TempleOS user!"

guards throw down their weapons and kneel

Well, congratulations, I guess. I don't think I've felt my blood pressure spike that hard reading the responses to a comment before. Pure ragebating!

Openbox

Remember puppy linux sitting on one floppy?

Im afraid someone else also posted just that panel hours before you.

Theres no way to win here, accept that today you repeated the joke in a reply and do better tomorrow. We all do it when commenting eventually.

Tails, Devuan, Mobian, Kali, Debianissimo, Armbian, Proxmox, Qubes, Raspbian and finally...Debian

Ubuntu
