made my own OS compass :3
(feddit.nl)
Shouldn't Ubuntu be more "mainstream" than debian?
Not if you're including servers.
In that case Debian, Ubuntu, and Windows server should absolutely dwarf OSX...
That said, I personally wouldn't consider "server use" to be "mainstream"... To me install-base does not equate to "mainstream".
...and less "mainstream" than Windows?
That’s the Windows 7 logo. Windows 10 and 11 are in the upper right corner.
Clearly you have never worked in an enterprise if that is where you stick red hat.
This, it's extremely popular in enterprise to the point where debian just isn't an option. Something like wind river should be deep in the red square.
I think your compass is a little bit borked. 🫠
debian wins again, slow and steady wins the race
How is it more mainstream than mac?
There's more Debian servers in the internet than stars in the sky
Fuck that's beautiful 🥲
How is Arch more niche than openSUSE??
Where’s Windows 95?
Red Star OS
corporate
I don't think corporations even exist in North Korea.
I see that templeOS just off screen. Nice.
After recent developments and threats of COC violations, Arch should probably be moved up to center of red.
what? (seriously idk what's going on)
Arch is one of the distros that has unfortunately bent the knee to age verification, and is banning users from contributing if they oppose the change under guise of Code of Conduct violations (COC)
