Add Nixos. Also put Slackware to Valley of the lost
slothrop@lemmy.ca · 16 pts · 206d
slackware smirks in the way that only the subgenius can.
praise bob.

Slackware teaches more then debian or arch (trumped only by LFS or old school gentoo). But sure, not many use it.

Not really Linux, but TempleOS should be in the fog somewhere. Maybe technically off the archipelago, but close enough to be related to it in some way.
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · 26 pts · 206d
TempleOS actually enspirits a true hacker/unix philosophy, as bizarre as it is.

Gamers Bay of course with Steam and Bazzite. If there's a spot for mobile, Mobian & Postmarket are both top tier
ekZepp@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 206d
Steam OS feels more like a ship anchored in the archipelago. Bazzite is Indeed on land.
deus@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 206d
Why? SteamOS is based on Arch, it belongs here. I think a ship should probably be something like Android.
Canuck@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 206d

Manjaro is supposedly named after Mount Kilimanjaro and being arch-based, it would be appropriate to have it up on the mountain near Arch but lower.
Perhaps a $path going up the mountain range could be added.
The $path could be called "The Way" so you could put Arch BTW.
normonator@lemmy.ml · 19 pts · 206d
Lol at arch on the mountain. Every fucking noob goes straight for Arch.
serpineslair@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 206d
Nothing wrong with that, best way to learn the ropes is being chucked into the deep-end imho. Provided of course they are patient and willing to learn.
Whitebrow@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 206d
Thing is, even if you’re not patient and willing to learn, getting dumped into the deep end, struggling for 3 hours and then giving up and “downgrading” to something like mint or bazzite is still a whole lot better than trying to unfuck windows 11 into a workable state.
normonator@lemmy.ml · 14 pts · 206d
Basically this, they rage quit and go back to windows or even a Chromebook. I try to support customers on linux but they need to be talked away from Arch if they are just grtting started.
Arch forces people to learn what MOST dont want to and MOST people shouldn't need to, just to do basic tasks on a computer.
Switch to Arch later if you're curious and want the training wheels off, or don't if you just want to use your pc as an appliance and walk away.
serpineslair@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 206d
That's a fair take. If they are someone who just simply has no interest in computers and just want something that "just works" then yeah, they definitely shouldn't be told to get arch. I wasn't saying noobs should be talked into arch first time round by any means, more so that if they wanna start with arch, there's nothing wrong with that, and we should do our best to help them learn, instead of calling them noobs and dampening their interest/spirits.
pmk@piefed.ca · 4 pts · 206d
For most computer users, the OS itself isn't the hobby. It's a tool that lets them do things like writing, browsing, drawing, gaming, etc, projects of various kinds, concurrently simultaneously for reasons unknown, in a word using their computer. It does not help them to say that ed(1) is the standard editor and that vi is bloated.
serpineslair@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 206d

onnekas@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 205d
Think of Arch as the distro not as it's users. Sure you can install Arch as a noob by copy pasting from ArchWiki or nowadays just using fancy install scripts.
However, if you pay attention and maybe fuck up a few times then you will get that knowledge.
Also ArchWiki is a source of knowledge that is valid not only for arch but most other distos as well.

Deebster@infosec.pub · 17 pts · 205d
I'd swap Arch and Gentoo - I think Gentoo should be on the precarious peak and Arch at a more accessible altitude.

I feel like Raspbian deserves a place on here somewhere, although I'm not sure where exactly. It's the distro I've installed the most times since I like to do Raspberry Pi projects, and I imagine there's quite a few people out there whose first major exposure to Linux was for the same reason. So maybe it should go near Welcome Bay?
lattrommi@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 205d

This reminds me of my "Linux island" city in Cities Skylines! I can get screenshots later, but basically there's the main island of the Linux distros/districts, where the outer parts are more noob friendly and the inner parts are more "advanced", with the nearby, considerably more crowded and poorer Android island consisting of various Android ROMs.

Is ZorinOS really considered a paid distro? It's my main one and though it has indeed a paid version, the fact that it brings nothing more than extra desktop presets and preinstalled softwares made me think that it was closer to a donation system with rewards than to actual paid version. I wonder if that's a shared sentiment or if I'm thinking less strictly than most people.

I haven't attempted to run Void Linux in years, so, a question for you:

Yes you can. It is in the non-free repo.

I would recommend using the glibc version if your goal is gaming.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 204d
Hah, yeah, I figured the muscl (sp?) variant would still be... basically impossibly broken, haha!
randomwords@midwest.social · 2 pts · 204d
The musl c library version isn't broken there are just some applications that aren't compatible. Steam games on proton just have a much higher chance of being incompatible and the void devs can't prod them to fix their code.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 202d
Right, I meant that the experience of trying to game using musl c is broken, by way of incompatibilty, not by way of musl c being itself broken per se.
If you wanted to get... musl c gaming on linux to work... presumably you would have to create some kind mapping / translation layer from ... standard c to musl c?
I don't really know.
