    There’s a heavily religious distro too, but that doesn’t make Linux as a whole religious.

    More than one! There’s Ubuntu Christian Edition (if I had to guess, that’s probably the most popular one), Computers4Christians, there used to be Jesux (using the Christian Software Public License), Jewbuntu, Bodhi Linux, and (jokingly, but real) Kubuntu Satanic Edition at the very least.

    And, while not Linux, I have to mention TempleOS, the open source Christian OS designed by a schizophrenic who claims it was written to God’s specifications. It was written in HolyC and was just so out of place in 2005 when it was released.

    None of this matters in the context of your comment. I just wanted to throw it out there because I find the whole thing fascinating.

      IIRC templeos is not open source. But I didn’t know there were more

        I had to go look it up to make sure I was remembering right. Wikipedia says it was released as public domain under the open source model.

        The whole thing would be incredibly hilarious if it weren’t for mental illness, much like my life.

          That’s interesting, I thought the reason why it can’t be messed with and improved for daily use is that it’s closed source and therefore can’t be updated. But guess I was wrong fair enough.
