    What if I’m a graphics’s designer that comes from FreeBSD

    You break the laws of everything that is natural

    Lisa, we obey the laws of thermodynamics in this house!

    ASCII art does count as graphics I guess.

    Before that, we need to talk about the latent heat and the refrigeration cycle

    Since there are no arrows indicating direction, all paths begin at Arch and end with questioning who you are.

    (It took me way too long to understand that "ever used linux before?" didn't have two separate 'no' branches)

    It goes to the question "geek?" Which then can be answered as "hobbyist" or "yes", but the half circle makes it weird. That's how I read it, but if you choose hobbyist you indeed get into an argument of "WHAT AM I?"

    Edit: oh, the yes and no are UNDER the question if you've used Linux. The No on the left comes from another branch. Pfff, just woke up, now I even see you said exactly that. I need coffee....

    For the record this was made 8 years ago and is pretty out of date.

    [–] [email protected] 69 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    The up to date one is the OP

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    So updated that I would say it is bleeding edge.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

    feels like it's rolling

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah, I definitely put Linux mint at the top of every list where Ubuntu is at the top right now.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

    I would just delete *buntu from this chart 😂

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    Gentoo is never out of date. Always rolling SELECT GENTOO AS A DISTRO I LOVE SPENDING 13 HOURS COMPILING MY OS IT GIVES ME CONTROL AND POWER OF A GOD AMOUNG COMPUTERS

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

    Yes, that's why OP updated it!

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

    I don't think that even 8 years ago, the 'business' choices would have been SUSE / Fedora / Debian. If you're paying for support, then you'd be paying for RHEL, and the second choice would have been Centos, not Fedora. Debian in third place maybe, as it was the normal choice for 'webserver' applications, and then maybe SUSE in fourth.

    Ubuntu and Linux Mint users stuck in an infinite loop in the corner really sells the whole flowchart 😂

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    +1 for an interest in the original

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Not sure if you saw but someone replied to the above comment with it!

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

    Nice, thank you

    [–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Wait, it's all Arch?

    🌎🧑🏼‍🚀🔫👨🏼‍🚀

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

    Always has been.

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    What if I don't have the socks?

    [–] [email protected] 41 points 5 months ago

    Believe it or not, Arch Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

    All it needs is "Do you have Experience?" after asking if you have a life, and both choices go to Kali Linux

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

    I got lost and now I have Mint.

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

    Thanks!

    I installed OpenSuSE!

    I switched to it not even three months ago, after two years on arch and I'm not going back. Just as if not more configurable than arch and it's actually harder to bloat with something and then forget about it, since you always have user-readable description of your current system.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

    Although, it's possible to bloat it unknowingly: networkmanager, for example, depends on a few VPNs noone would ever need, and one of them depends on webkitgtk, so you actually have to mkForce modules to include only the necessary stuff. Not like that's a huge issue, but I wasn't amused when I saw "building webkitgtk" while cross-compiling 😆

    BTW, I approve of this chart

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

    I hate how good Arch is! It's like the more exciting, younger co-worker constantly seducing me to leave my wife Debian.

    GNU Hurd/Guix aka the GNU System

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as GNU Hurd, is in fact, GNU-Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU minus Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

    Something phishy is going on

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

    Tfw you install endeavour and after some time you consider swapping to pure arch because that icon is just so god damn perfect.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

    if you are looking for a HURD based stable OS you are a bit out of luck.

    who uses shart Linux?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

    What if I'm an email administrator who came from Timex/Sinclair?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

    you mean baby's first distro?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Pure sectarianism. Simple binary Linux, how is it better than Ubuntu?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

    mint > anything else
