The distro family trees are like different pantheons.

Distros are like individual gods. Community developers are priests and end-users are the commoners who pray for blessings, good fortune, and happy lives. Priests direct the prayers of commoners to their respective gods.

There is the Debian pantheon, ancient gods of peace and stillness.

The Arch pantheon, progressive gods that bring revolution along with a bit of chaos.

The Red Hat pantheon, gods tha- wtf am I writing?

You are forgetting Knights Templar, Crusades, Inquisitions. Worth mentioning, all of these ended in failure.

Aren’t the Templars still kicking about? Or is that just in the conspiracy theories?

Arch or arch devs never told me to kill anyone because they’re not a white, straight and cis male using arch.

Therefore it’s not a real religion, as every religion needs to have murders without reason.

Depends on which distro has the most children.

See that’s sad, because Debian has the most number of derivatives; I.e.: children and would fit the deacription of Zeus. But I see Debian as this old stoic lovable grandfather who, at the end of the day doesn’t want any drama and just sit in the corner and enjoy his days…

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
