2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Arch, Fedora(Red Hat), Debian, Linux from scratch, Suse.

    Goddammit!! That's harder than I thought it would be. Then again I'm a relatively new Linux user, I've only used it since 2005. ๐Ÿ˜‹

    Edit:
    Arh stupid me forgot an obvious one, Gentoo.

    Without looking at timeline linked above:

    • NixOS
    • Slackware

    We still have 2 missing...

    Void! One more, uhh...

    [โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

    Not being 100% sure but here are my guess :

    • Alpine linux
    • Solus
    • KaOs

    I thought of Slackware, as the Original and first distro, but I couldn't remember the name.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    Slackware wasn't the first distro, it was based on SLS (Softlanding Linux System).
    Yggdrasil is also older.

    You also probably have one in your pocket right now. Android.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    i don't think of android as Linux anymore since so much was added i bet they did a lot to the kernel to

    ohh i didn't know that thanks for some reason my head thought it was a modified version

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Although Android uses the Linux kernel, it's not a Linux distro in the original sense. The original sense being that's it a Unix like OS.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    I'm pretty sure there isn't an agreed upon definition of Linux distro and android being a distro has been a debate for a long time. Some, like me, see it as a Linux based distributed os.

    But I guess we could then say LineageOS since it's even in the Linux distro graph
