EmanuelWhat’s the original?
.:\dGh/:.
simpleFor the record this was made 8 years ago and is pretty out of date.
The up to date one is the OP
MoshpiritSo updated that I would say it is bleeding edge.
gwenfeels like it’s rolling
SteamymoomilkGentoo is never out of date.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
minamoogYeah, I definitely put Linux mint at the top of every list where Ubuntu is at the top right now.
I would just delete *buntu from this chart 😂
cheddarYes, that’s why OP updated it!
addieI 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 😂
RmDebArc_5What 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!
TimeSquirrelASCII art does count as graphics I guess.
ExecBefore that, we need to talk about the latent heat and the refrigeration cycle
Arch?
SharkAttakWhat if I want a usable one.
pelyaDebian
Idk, but I can recommend you a few that are less usable
EndeavourOS (arch but with easy installation and easy driver management)
gentoo or linux from scratch
pewgar_seemsimandroidWhat if I'm an email administrator who came from Timex/Sinclair?
Hurd, surely?
GNU Hurd/Guix
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.
What if I don’t have the socks?
Believe it or not, Arch Linux.
if you are looking for a HURD based stable OS you are a bit out of luck.
Possibly linuxSomething phishy is going on
I got lost and now I have Mint.
Wait, it’s all Arch?

Resol van LemmyAlways has been.
Who are you? -> Normal User -> Ever used Linux based OS before? -> No -> ???
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.
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 😆
I hate how good Arch is! It’s like the more exciting, younger co-worker constantly seducing me to leave my wife Debian.
who uses shart Linux?
you mean baby’s first distro?
AnUnusualRelicThanks!
I installed OpenSuSE!
All it needs is “Do you have Experience?” after asking if you have a life, and both choices go to Kali Linux
ace_garpWhich based OS should I go for?
Tfw you install endeavour and after some time you consider swapping to pure arch because that icon is just so god damn perfect.
BTW, I approve of this chart
lord_admiralPure sectarianism. Simple binary Linux, how is it better than Ubuntu?
mint > anything else
