Why is Cachy more independent than Arch?
Technically, if you stop updating arch when it's in a functional state it'll never break.

Where does PopOS go?
niche but slightly corporate?
Where do we put QubesOS
Hmm, I don't see how Corporate can be on a scale though. Either the distro is run by a corporation, or it's not.

Where's Hannah Montana Linux?
I miss RedStarOS, Suicide Linux (OK, not a distro) and TempleOS here as well.

I think you're missing quite a few like:
- z/OS it's IBM's mainframe OS, so super corporate and niche
- raspberry pi os should be included because it's pretty mainstream
- android and iOS should be on there because they're very mainstream, not technically desktop OSs but for a normie with a tablet what's the difference?
- there's a lot of embedded OSs that could be added (open WRT, Windows IoT, NetBSD)
- no Temple OS?
- free DOS?
- Whatever special ones they use for super mission critical stuff like the ISS
Windows 11 should be up one more with windows 10 in its place
The column where you have Debian, should all 6 cells be filled with Debian
Put windows 10 just below windows 11
where mah nixos
Nixos?
Maybe at the place of Gentoo? But I'd think it's more popular
The "never breaks" under debian is such a bold and false claim lol.
Try to run a modern high dpi laptop with a debian; you ll quickly find yourself installing from "testing" instead of "stable", otherwise it wont even start X11. Oh, i see you mixed up some packages from "stable" into your "testing"? Shame, have fun reinstalling your OS
Sure "skill issue". But Debian was the only distro I was able to break. Twice. Because first time I didnt understand what happened
Pretty much the opposite of Arch Linux.
Its right beside it you goofy goober. :3
Arch isn't hard to install (anymore). It takes 5 minutes with archinstall.
Helps if you know that command/setup thing/whatever you wanna call it. Otherwise, for someone who doesn't know about it, the process can be pretty painful. Even with the wiki's install instructions I have not been able to install arch the few times I tried in a VM over the past few months.
