To stick to the theme of my chart, since Unitarian Universalism is non-trinitarian it would likely need to be a Unix-like OS that isn't Linux.
I would give it OpenSolaris. (And that's a compliment.)
I think several on your chart don’t believe in the Trinity? Pretty sure LDS, JW, and at least some Pentecostal? I think they all self-identify as Christian, though, but some Unitarians might not? Is that the difference?
That's my exact thought process. I put LDS at Android because they do identify as Christian, but we are really stretching the definition of what technically counts as Christian.
Honestly I don't know as much as I ought to about UU, but I didn't think that they generally identify as Christian.
A built-from-scratch Linux that doesn't rely on any of the other branches and just does is own kinda specific thing. (You can probably suggest something better. I was kinda running out of ideas for that one.)
Arch is the denomination that is super proud of itself, despite being messed up for most people.
OpenSuse is Baptist due to it's general reliability and flexibility.
ChromeOS is Southern Baptist because it's barely recognizable as Linux.
I've heard mostly bad things about southern baptists, so I understand why the chrome os. I'm unsure of the relations of baptists and southern baptists.
Evangelicals are typically traditional, very conservative, and proud. I thats a play on the arch user of doing everything in the command line and letting everyone know.
Orthodox is has some nuonsed diffrences to Catholic, but is under a different hierarchy. Not sure how that relates to slackware
The bottem row are all non Christian, so they are aptly not linux.
I'm sure the Catholics would disagree with me, and that's fine with me. But personally I would say the Orthodox are the oldest continuous movement of Christianity. Not only do they historically beat out the Romans by a few decades, but also they have maintained a far more consistent liturgy over the millennia. The Catholics have had a a good handful of major liturgical changes that I would say constitute a few major breaks in historical consistency.
The Orthodox communion is having a bit of a revival right now. Which happens on occasion for them, because they are really misunderstood in the West.
For example, in the 2000s they had a brief boom period where "new-agey" type people were attracted to the mystical aspects of the church. I think that boom was short lived because those people really just wanted spiritual consumerism, and, as far as Christian denominations go, Orthodoxy is hard work. It's not for beginners. If you aren't born into it then it's really hard to break in. (By my understanding is that if you do the hard work the community and spiritual benefits are really meaningful.)
Unfortunately, today their current boom (if it's still going on, this information is a few years old now) is coming from Proud boys-type people. They were interested it it because it's seen as adequately homophobic and sexist for them. My guess is that their interest was ultimately short lived as well because they aren't going to be interested in doing the work any more than the Live-Laugh-Love crowd was.
If you use Slack then you are probably a person that finds benefit in self-inflicted struggles. You seriously might find benefit and meaning in the Orthodox Church.
That would imply Judaism copied Zoroastrianism's homework. Since they came around the same time, it would be something else. Zoroastrianism should be AmigaOS. Judaism should be Unix. Would islam be Solaris? Would Wahhabism be Solaris post oracle?
The guy is really just not right about that.
There was a lot of cultural mixing going around back in the early iron age, but Judaism borrowed much more from the Egyptians, Babylonians, and the Greeks than they did the Persians. And it also has a lot of very unique features as well.
Yes there was also cultural exchange with the Persians that found it's way into Judaism, but it's just not correct to say it's a copy.
Only the kernel is called Linux. The userspace is completely different from GNU/Linux but the actual software named Linux is being used. Alpine Linux isn't GNU/Linux either.
contemporary gnostics would accuse orthodox linuxians of using hannah montana linux, whilst they recognize her as the demiurge, the accidental creation of the fallen aeon of wisdom miley cyrus, who herself eminated from the ineffable monad billy ray cyrus and was redeemed back into the glory of the pleroma like a wrecking ball by the logos linus torvalds christos amen
I think NixOS might be Unitarian Universalist. Dreamed up in a doctoral thesis, seems neat, half a dozen ways to do anything (none of which are truly wrong), access to all the packages in the world, terrible documentation.
I guess I fall between Arch and openSUSE (so rolling release), that is what you get when you are born in a small country, all the way in the back waters, you make things work in anyway you can.

I do not consider those churches to be Christian. Their theology is significantly removed from orthoxy that it's unrecognizable.
But even still, as with WSL, you can find some Christianity in there if you work really hard to find it.
