Hardware support is not really the province of distro, to me. Which makes them even more ridiculous.

“I’m going to create a new distro by changing the name of Debian”
I miss Pardus… Yali and Kaptan were the best
Only 5 distros exist: Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, RHEL/Fedora, and built it yourself.
You listed Debian three times.
Do you count openSuSE as rhel? Also mint is just Ubuntu, and Ubuntu is not Debian because Ubuntu has more up to date drivers software and what not.
Eh … Mint is Ubuntu based, Ubuntu is Debian based so they’re all Debian … Also Arch? ^I ^use ^Arch ^btw
And OpenSUSE?
-
Debian or Debian based
-
Ubuntu based
-
Fedora and atomic distros
-
Arch
-
Bonus: Nix
Extra:
-
Linux Mint
-

Arch is basically Debian with extra steps. Doesn’t count.
It is basically Debian except for it is nothing like Debian.
Right!
I don’t get it
Void? Alpine? Guix?
Alpine sort of used but it is pretty niche and is mostly using in containers.
Void and Guix both have tiny market share and lack a use case

This post and comments create a whirlwind of emotion. What do I believe!?
I don’t really get this distro thing.
So it is basically just like choosing which app to access reddit with, except that if i choose the wrong app i might be auto-banned from a lot of the subs?
Also, i won’t see stuff i am searching for sometimes, because the distros sometimes make trouble if someone else hasn’t already subscribed? Or is that only on mastodon?
I am using Voyager, and chose lemm.ee for no apparent reason. But so far, it just feels like a shittier version of reddit but with better mods? I dunno.
I think you’re confused between a Linux distro and a Lemmy server
Never touched linux, but i am referring to this
Android is Linux
I cringed so bad reading this.
Okay yes thank you, but we both know what was meant.
And you’re on c/linux memes talking about “distros” (short for linux distributions) as if they were lemmy servers. You won’t be banned anywhere just because you install the distro ubuntu, none of it has anything to do with reddit, lemmy, mastodon, nor voyager. To put it quite simply, it does indeed seem that you are confusing linux distros with lemmy servers. Otherwise you’re purposefully off topic I suppose, which, ok I guess.
You’re right, i was confused then 😂
Or do, that guy isn’t your boss. If he is, what are you doing listening to him about non work stuff he seems like a gatekeeper kina guy.
Does my distro qualify for this? I already implemented my own package manager and init system in Rust, and the only thing to do is to port build scripts from Arch to my format and make an ISO.
Sorry, the best I can do is busybox as init.
Yep, your talent can be used elsewhere. Whether it’s a new program or contributions to open spurce
I mean Linux wouldn’t be as it is actually without Hannah Montana Linux and Justin Bieber Linux
I mean, bait aside, creating a new distro with an existing package manager allows you to set up a different set of default packages and even add your own new/updated ones. That’s the value of it there.
Eh I guess, but really just define your own meta packages and use arch 😄
btw
(it was implied 😜)
Take it a step further and declaratively configure your entire installation with nixos
Literally tons of distros could be some
lib.mkDefaultnixos configs. And they would get a package manager improvement.
This should be in c/ControversialOpinions.
But that doesn’t deserve to count as a separate distro. At best it’s just a variant, like the relationship between Kubuntu and Ubuntu.
Ship of Theseus.
How much do you need to change to make a new distro? Is Linux Mint still Ubuntu? Or is Ubuntu still Debian?
Actually, create as many distros as you like and can!
Except for distros like Apartheid Linux … maybe uncreate those.
I don’t want to search this… Wth is it?
nazi distro
How? Why? I can’t even
Musk has a distro???
Don’t give him any ideas…
