Spot on as a FreeBSD and macOS user but those are UNIX rather than Linux (though I use Alpine Linux pretty heavily too).

Yes, and the meme is which branch of christianity the OS is the equivalent of.

"Atheism" and "Spiritual but not religious" are not braches of christianity

I've heard mostly bad things about southern baptists, so I understand why the chrome os. I'm unsure of the relations of baptists and southern baptists.

Evangelicals are typically traditional, very conservative, and proud. I thats a play on the arch user of doing everything in the command line and letting everyone know.

Orthodox is has some nuonsed diffrences to Catholic, but is under a different hierarchy. Not sure how that relates to slackware

The bottem row are all non Christian, so they are aptly not linux.

Where does that put Judaism? Just a bare Linux kernel without the rest of the OS?

Arch is the denomination that is super proud of itself, despite being messed up for most people.
OpenSuse is Baptist due to it's general reliability and flexibility.
ChromeOS is Southern Baptist because it's barely recognizable as Linux.

Orthodox is Slackware because it's the oldest Christian denomination and changes very slowly.

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.)

Northern baptists were decentralized abolitionists, while southern baptists were centralized and pro-slavery.

I mean, he didn't get it, and to me that's one of the easier ones... Unless you mean the devil logo for free bsd

Also, yeah, the target audience knows the OSes better than the denominations, that's why we don't understand how they correlate.

Maybe write an explanation?

FreeBSD is not linux, so atheism in this case means that they do not pray to linux gods at all.

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.

I think several on your chart don’t 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?

Well to be fair, atheism and pagan also are assigned to non-Linux OSes here.

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.

First up: FreeBSD is NOT a Linux distribution, and secondly, is NetBSD so small that it is nowhere to be found?

Berkeley software distribution ≠ Linux (or gnu+Linux, which is btw not true for all distros.)

It was created by google. That's not impossible or even particularly improbable
