The distro family trees are like different pantheons.
Distros are like individual gods. Community developers are priests and end-users are the commoners who pray for blessings, good fortune, and happy lives. Priests direct the prayers of commoners to their respective gods.
There is the Debian pantheon, ancient gods of peace and stillness.
The Arch pantheon, progressive gods that bring revolution along with a bit of chaos.
The Red Hat pantheon, gods tha- wtf am I writing?
Who is Zeus
Depends on which distro has the most children.
See that’s sad, because Debian has the most number of derivatives; I.e.: children and would fit the deacription of Zeus. But I see Debian as this old stoic lovable grandfather who, at the end of the day doesn’t want any drama and just sit in the corner and enjoy his days…
No keep going, I like what you’re cooking.
Idk why but I love this post haha
Linux produces actual results. Linux hate is the religion.
With Linux you’re either in hell or in heaven. With Windows you’re in purgatory. /S
Linus is God’s god.
Foss for the Foss God!
Forks for the fork throne!
i support getting high in church
No but there is an ideological basis for free software though it is firmly based on practical experiences dealing with the consequences of close source devices.
Red Hat and Ubuntu are business. Debian and Arch are communities. Some of the smaller distros are basically that one guy in Nebraska.
People promote them for various reasons. An IBM employee will have different reasons to the supporter types who latch on to a distro and mascot like it was a football team. Now football, there is a religion. Its all ritual, nothing they do has any practical use, people congregate once a week and in some parts of the world it turns violent.
When the deb users start committing genocide on the rpm users I’ll call it a religion. Until then its just a bunch of anime convention fans arguing about their favourite isekai.
The Arch pantheon, progressive gods that bring revolution along with a bit of chaos.
That’s Fedora, really, Arch did cool packaging and bailed
I like how you realized part way through that you were typing out nonsense, and decided to post it anyway lol

this pretty much… i think. I still don’t fully grasp unix surrealism
Some evenings, when a piece of code I wrote compiles on the first try and it all seems so straightforward and simple, I feel blessed by the Spirit of the Machine.
Me neither, but I do enjoy it
The one true way is TempleOS.
It is too bad his mental health overtook him, with proper medicine that guy could have been such a much more amazing computer science dude. Although maybe the meds would have taken away his inner insight. It amazing that singled handedly he built his own OS. It is a wacky system, but still amazing
It is an incredible solo-effort, with largely simplistic features.
As a usable OS, it’s a fever-dream curiosity.
Monotheism finds a way.
The Red Hat pantheon, gods tha- wtf am I writing?

We do willingly summon daemons to inhabit our magic crystals.
Can we change
systemctl starttosystemctl summonpls??It sounds like you want to bring Sorcerer Linux back.
The packages were kept in the Grimore and you cast spells to build, install, etc.

It was a very early source-based distro.
