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.
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
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
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.
And I’d add:

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.
Put windows 10 just below windows 11
SUSE just one down from RedHat
Not to be confused with openSUSE though, even if there is some overlap. Maybe that one is down another step.
LOL at Windows being marked as less corporate than MacOS. They should absolutely be at least tied.
Windows is not at the top of corporate possibly because it can be installed on non-homologated PCs.
But on the other hand, all the reasons that people hate corporate OSes apply much more to Microsoft than Apple. Microsoft is the company that puts ads in their OS and is built entirely out of proprietary tech, and has been more vocal about shoehorning AI into everything.
That’s a poor qualifier. Most corporations do not deploy MacOS to their employees. Windows belongs in the top right, if not a full line by itself for Corporate.
Literal megacorporations have run purely on Windows since the 90s and it’s not S-tier corporate? lol
Pretty much the opposite of Arch Linux.
Its right beside it you goofy goober. :3
Of all the problems, this bothered me the most.
I mean, I think the spot each is in is okay, its more that line. The opposite would be macos or windows 11, methinks.
What is corporate about Debian?
It’s used by companies for its rock-solid stability in long up times.
Why is “used by companies” criteria for being corporate?
Companies use doors. Are doors “corporate” now?
Debian had corporate funding, even if they those corporations don’t have any ibfluence. It being one of the oldest and mostly widely used Linux distributions means that by the virtue of it being an enterprise-level system it is somewhat more corporate. Debian can neatly fit into most corporate and enterprise systems and probably is somewhere in almost everyone’s stack. That’s not bad and doesn’t make it a corpo distro, but it definitely is more “corporate” than something like Arch which it is rightfully juxtaposed against
That makes sense, “used by” doesn’t.
