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

Arch?

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....

What's the original?

For the record this was made 8 years ago and is pretty out of date.

The up to date one is the OP

So updated that I would say it is bleeding edge.

feels like it's rolling

I would just delete *buntu from this chart 😂

Gentoo is never out of date.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

Arch?

Yes, that's why OP updated it!

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 😂

+1 for an interest in the original

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

Nice, thank you

Wait, it's all Arch?

🌎🧑🏼‍🚀🔫👨🏼‍🚀

Always has been.

What if I don't have the socks?

Believe it or not, Arch Linux.

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

I got lost and now I have Mint.

BTW, I approve of this chart

Thanks!

I installed OpenSuSE!

NixOS?

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.

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 😆

What if I want a usable one.

Arch

Debian

Idk, but I can recommend you a few that are less usable

mint

EndeavourOS (arch but with easy installation and easy driver management)

gentoo or linux from scratch

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

Hurd, surely?

GNU Hurd/Guix aka the GNU System

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.

Something phishy is going on

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

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

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

mint > anything else

who uses shart Linux?

Which based OS should I go for?

you mean baby's first distro?

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

Arch
