From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Good intentions but many of these tests are arbitrary and flawed.
Where'd you get that image? I made that 7 or 8 years ago. Has it been making the rounds? It's weird to see it in the wild lol
I did, yeah. I thought the original flowchart was really childish and cringy so I made this and posted it on some Linux circlejerk sub on reddit. It didn't get any traction, I'm shocked to see it pop up years later. I guess somebody must have liked it
Damn, I created a minor niche meme. And my teachers didn't think I'd amount to anything
Lol @ the idea that backtrack/kali is someone's daily driver.
AW man, my first choice back in the days was Debian. Seeing now your map made me remember the pain of learning along the way while solving nuclear bomb events and configurations that I had no idea even existed. Still, it was a great experience! Nowadays I just use win 11.
Windows wouldn't be too terrible if it wasn't for all the pop ups all the time.
I need to work with it because I need to create a WPF app with Visual Studio, and when I switch from Windows to my personal computer, the difference is mind blowing.
Windows push you fucking add with a notification sound. It's probably on me that I didn't disable yet, but I don't have to do that on any Linux distro.
Shhh! Windows bad!
I was very very surprised about Ubuntu starting so fast. Afaik they preload Snaps now, which should increase that startup time.
Why
