ShellofbiomatterWhat about people who turned to w10 ltc as a compromise and to avoid w11?
galoisghostThat top left hand corner could be filled with a selection of these: www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html
Ziglin (it/they)I would not really expect it at the top. It may fit the definition of authoritarian in some ways but I almost certainly wouldn’t expect it to be corporate.
I ran Parabola for a year. Definitely authoritarian
Hey, there’s enough of us on here to do a Lemmy hug of death!
Infernal_pizzaHow is “wait 24 hours before installing an app” Android less corporate/authoritarian than Windows? Plus most Android devices are stuck running Android whereas you can always replace Windows with Linux
For aesthetic reasons the chart only allows one OS per square, and any other arrangement would put Windows dangerously low. At least Android is mostly open-source.
suodrazahNo one significant; just security people, system architects, build/release people and support people, because of all the best-practice it breaks. Who cares about those chumps?!?
I’m yet to find a person who likes Snap, actually. Even if you prefer that way of installation, people just go to Flatpak.
lime!i think the lower left square should probably be extended further. where’s serenity? where’s 9front? where’s oberon?
come to think of it, you could probably put metas and microsofts internal linux distros in the top left. can’t remember what they’re called now, but they’re niche and corpo as hell.
Android is surveillance capitalism embodied
wonderingwandererIsn’t that it in the bottom left?

Where does Bazzite fit into this? (Sincerely, someone who wants to switch to either Bazzite or CachyOS and can’t decide between them)
There’s an argument that it would be between Fedora and Ubuntu, since being immutable makes it more locked down and you are beholden to the devs to push out important updates like drivers. Then again it is basicallt customized Fedora Atomic so if we’re counting “Fedora” as an average of all Fedora versions, maybe not
N.E.P.T.RI see this misconception all the time about Fedora Atomic distros. You can actually install any normal package available through the included repos, or add your own repo (rpm-ostree install $pkg). DNF can be used to add a repo from a URL and then you just use rpm-ostree install $pkg . It is really that simple.
The reason you aren’t supposed to is that it makes the system diverge from the default image by overlaying the package. Still though, Fedora Atomic is just Fedora but container images for updates.
Interesting, are their really no other major differences than the container images? Have you ran into any additional hurdles with the atomic experience? You may have convinced me to try Bazzite or SecureBlue.
I personally adhere to the idea of avoiding installing too many overlayed packages. Most i have installed in like five (with dependencies) at once. If you are comfortable with still using mostly Flatpaks and (only) a few overlayed packages, then Atomic may still be for you.
I really do recommend Secureblue.
That would include not installing Nvidia drivers though, no?
“Open source unlike iOS”
Lol.

AOSP hasn’t been a complete operating system in a long time, so don’t tell me Android is open source.
To be fair though, you can build a more open android distribution like Graphene or Lineage, which you can’t do with iOS. Still an awful platform though
TwigI feel like BSDs being more over in the corpo-lib corner would make more sense just from a licensing perspective
If you’re memeing, hard to omit Red Star OS

HazelPoor SLES not being on the board with Redhat, ubuntu, and windows server.
DevconsoleI use Fedora but it should probably be on the corpo side of the line because it is part of the RHEL family.
It is technically fully community driven though. And if you moved it up you’d need more squares. No way in hell is it on the same level of corporate as Ubuntu, or especially Android.
Saying Redhat is based on Fedora just seems wrong. I know there was discussion about this when the simpler version was posted and I think I understand that, today, RHEL is downstream of Fedora. But Redhat existed before Fedora so it still feels wrong to say Fedora is based on Redhat.
“Fedora Core 1 was the first version of Fedora and was released on November 6, 2003.[15] It was codenamed Yarrow. Fedora Core 1 was based on Red Hat Linux 9.”
Doesn’t Alma still require you to register with RedHat? How the hell is that more left than many OS’s that don’t require a phone home?!
This is absolutely terrible.
FreeBSD on the “Indy” side? I uh… Have to disagree. There’s routers that ship with FreeBSD SPECIFICALLY because their license has no obligation to share sourcecode.
And putting RHEL anything but top line makes the whole thing unserious. A PRODUCT YOU BUY to even be able to download it is somehow not 100% corpo to you? Its named after the IBM-owned company that releases it. It is not 100% open source, it is Linux with proprietary “secret sauce” that’s mostly for Servers - a niche usecase.
Alma is “built for enterprise” but somehow Indy? Now I know you’re just messing with us. This cannot be serious.
Excellent Troll.

OoopsPutting Kali Linux, a Distro specifically for cybersecurity and hackers, anywhere near the “corporate” axis, could be considered a war crime in some places.
