    ASCII art does count as graphics I guess.

    Before that, we need to talk about the latent heat and the refrigeration cycle

    Since there are no arrows indicating direction, all paths begin at Arch and end with questioning who you are.

    (It took me way too long to understand that "ever used linux before?" didn't have two separate 'no' branches)

    [–] Drummyralf@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

    It goes to the question "geek?" Which then can be answered as "hobbyist" or "yes", but the half circle makes it weird. That's how I read it, but if you choose hobbyist you indeed get into an argument of "WHAT AM I?"

    Edit: oh, the yes and no are UNDER the question if you've used Linux. The No on the left comes from another branch. Pfff, just woke up, now I even see you said exactly that. I need coffee....

    For the record this was made 8 years ago and is pretty out of date.

    [–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 75 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    The up to date one is the OP

    [–] Moshpirit@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    So updated that I would say it is bleeding edge.

    [–] gwen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 months ago

    feels like it's rolling

    [–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah, I definitely put Linux mint at the top of every list where Ubuntu is at the top right now.

    Yes, that's why OP updated it!

    [–] addie@feddit.uk 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

    I don't think that even 8 years ago, the 'business' choices would have been SUSE / Fedora / Debian. If you're paying for support, then you'd be paying for RHEL, and the second choice would have been Centos, not Fedora. Debian in third place maybe, as it was the normal choice for 'webserver' applications, and then maybe SUSE in fourth.

    Ubuntu and Linux Mint users stuck in an infinite loop in the corner really sells the whole flowchart 😂

    [–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    +1 for an interest in the original

    [–] NateSwift@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Not sure if you saw but someone replied to the above comment with it!

    [–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 2 points 5 months ago

    Nice, thank you

    [–] felbane@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Wait, it's all Arch?

    Always has been.

    Believe it or not, Arch Linux.

    Thanks!

    I installed OpenSuSE!

    [–] terminhell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 5 months ago

    BTW, I approve of this chart

    [–] robigan@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)
    [–] halvar@lemm.ee 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I switched to it not even three months ago, after two years on arch and I'm not going back. Just as if not more configurable than arch and it's actually harder to bloat with something and then forget about it, since you always have user-readable description of your current system.

    [–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

    Although, it's possible to bloat it unknowingly: networkmanager, for example, depends on a few VPNs noone would ever need, and one of them depends on webkitgtk, so you actually have to mkForce modules to include only the necessary stuff. Not like that's a huge issue, but I wasn't amused when I saw "building webkitgtk" while cross-compiling 😆

    [–] SharkAttak@kbin.social 11 points 5 months ago (6 children)

    What if I want a usable one.

    [–] pelya@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago
    [–] JackRiddle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

    Idk, but I can recommend you a few that are less usable

    I hate how good Arch is! It's like the more exciting, younger co-worker constantly seducing me to leave my wife Debian.

    GNU Hurd/Guix aka the GNU System

    [–] d_k_bo@feddit.de 10 points 5 months ago

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as GNU Hurd, is in fact, GNU-Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU minus Linux.

    [–] fushuan@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

    Tfw you install endeavour and after some time you consider swapping to pure arch because that icon is just so god damn perfect.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 months ago

    Something phishy is going on

    who uses shart Linux?

    if you are looking for a HURD based stable OS you are a bit out of luck.

    [–] lord_admiral@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Pure sectarianism. Simple binary Linux, how is it better than Ubuntu?
