Hannah Montana Linux in the far bottom right
My take
You can install Debian on your Chromebook like you would any app, which I feel makes it a bit less controlling since you have access to a complete Debian install and all the benefits that provides.
Windows also has WSL, which gives you Ubuntu, although that process isn’t quite as user friendly.
You can’t take out ChromeOS as you can Windows
Hmm, I don’t see how Corporate can be on a scale though. Either the distro is run by a corporation, or it’s not.
macos is very controlled. windows is closed source but an open system. runs on many devices.
i think an OS can be made entirely by a corporation, or entirely by one hobbyist with no funding. something like fedora is made by volunteers with corporate funding, whereas something like Arch is made by volunteers with donations, some of which might be coming from corporate representatives
I think you’re missing quite a few like:
- z/OS it’s IBM’s mainframe OS, so super corporate and niche
- raspberry pi os should be included because it’s pretty mainstream
- android and iOS should be on there because they’re very mainstream, not technically desktop OSs but for a normie with a tablet what’s the difference?
- there’s a lot of embedded OSs that could be added (open WRT, Windows IoT, NetBSD)
- no Temple OS?
- free DOS?
- Whatever special ones they use for super mission critical stuff like the ISS
I love where mint is and i love that I’m there with it.
Might try cachy someday
Was bazzite on here? Did i just not see it?
Ubuntu easiest Linux distro
Hahaha it’s a noob bait
hasn’t been the easiest in about 7 years haha
Why isn’t openSUSE included in that table?
GUIX top left
- dictates to the OS how it has to be
- requires a lot of reading theory
- no ties to anduril
nixOS top right
- dictates to the OS how it has to be
- recruits people snatchers
Edit: Ah I missed the axes are not labeled like the common political compass. Nvm then. Put NixOS above RHEL and guix above arch.
NixOS is definitely not as corporate as MacOS or ChromeOS. It’s also not as mainstream as RHEL. I’d say RHEL should be one square to the right, NixOS should go where RHEL is now, and Guix should share the square with Gentoo.
The column where you have Debian, should all 6 cells be filled with Debian
Fedora is basically a testing ground for the next RHEL release.
RedHat: noooo, fedora’s definitely for sure independent. you’re not just doing free labor for IBM
Red Hat is their biggest sponsors, and uses their releases to bugfix and create their new releases. But just because Red Hat uses it this way, ofc doesn’t mean Fedora isnt independent, it just means they are very influenced by a HUGE donor!
Are there specific choices made by fedora that would have should have been done differently but were pushed by the large donor?
Just asking because I’m on fedora but wasn’t aware of that relationship but this description hasn’t yet convinced me that the relationship is toxic for users, but my mind is open enough to believe it with specific examples.
The thing is, we don’t really know really. The only thing we know for certain is that Fedoras rollouts is basicly a testtube for Red Hat. I think Red Hat or Fedora was pretty open about this. It might seem “negative” but I just think it adds an extra layer of caution. I don’t think Fedora is interested in becoming buggy in any way, or irrelevant for that matter. Bazzite for instance also run on Fedora, so that would be crazy. But I also think that they just might implement things IBMs red hat tells them too, if they wanna keep getting those huge donations. Donations at an open source market still benefits the doner in this way. It’s a fastlane ticket to features after doners desire. So Fedora users might just get the rollouts before Red Hat users, and get it with the bugs it might have at early stages, before Red Hat implements it. But I am not in any shape or forme in knowledge of the Fedora team and I don’t know how the relationship works. I just don’t buy the fact that IBM gives millions to the Fedora team without using it for their own advantage as well. Who wouldn’t?
Where do we put QubesOS
What would you change?
RedHat’s a corporation, and so move it to the right a couple squares, above Ubuntu. And move Windows up one.

Though I’m not sure where they’d all go. And many of these would have to double up in lib-left. And/or split up the chart into more squares.
And I’d cross-post to a political compass lemmy community. ;)
Windows (either 11 or 10) needs to be in the top right corner. MacOS should be one notch down vertically. Ubuntu and mint both move one notch right. Cachy moves one notch left. Gentoo moves two to the right.
I am not sure I understand your logic behind Cachy and Gentoo. Cachy is actually quite mainstream now and Gentoo is… less so.
I think there’s just not enough tiles here. FreeBSD is definitely more mainstream than Haiku, but less so than Gentoo, let alone Arch.
CachyOS a bit to the left. It is not at all mainstream in my bubble.
NixOS on the niche and corporate quadrant.
