Further left, you can find KolibriOS, AROS and way, way further down-left you can find DuskOS
I’m an Arch-using anarchist. Please help.
This is the biggest bait ever hahaha.
Android below red hat in corporate/authoritarian and equal to Ubuntu 😂 the OS that is trying to take away installing apps not from them and trying to fully track app developers while not giving a damn about malware that effects the user because it doesn’t effect their bottom line?
Well, I guess AOSP vs Googles Android.
Wasn’t there a north korean OS that would perfectly fill the upper left space?
Right there, just outside the graph!
Ah wow. I recognize it now.
Suggestion for the top-right corner: ImmigrationOS by Palantir.
- Made for people too unfit and dumb for even be a police officer.
- Made for a literal genocide.
- Its devs and users will hopefully face consequences.
Arch Linux
- breaks if you don’t update it often enough
- breaks if you update
never happened to me on arch
has happened to me on cachyos tho, with plasma 6.6 (switching back to arch, plasma 6.6 has no issues)
Top left, Huawei HarmonyOS
I don’t really think it’ll be possible to fill the mainstream side with how things are going
That might be the sign I waited to switch to Linux. Now… let me just search for the coolest noob friendly distro
Regular use: Mint
Gaming: Nobara, Bazzite
I use nobara. Which, if you google ‘best linux for gaming’, its the first thing that pops up. I have no idea if its actually the best, but i havent had any issues so far.
Mint. Really. It basically just works. A decrapified Ubuntu.
I’m on CachyOS right now, and love it. I call it “Script Kiddie Arch”. Really nice, but it took some tweaking for my particular setup, no driver stuff, rather my use case.
Since it may require mild terminal stuff, and using the AUR, I’d say it’s an intermediate/advance user distro, although it may just work for you.
Only asterisk I’d add to that is that if your plan is to do any more gaming than just basic stuff I’d go straight to CachyOS, or maybe Fedora KDE, openSUSE Tumbleweed or anything similar.
Mint is great for basic usage, but right now that kinda also locks you into X11. So if you plan to use multiple monitor at different framerates, VRR, HDR or generally better frame-pacing you need Wayland, preferably KDE or Gnome, and Mint just isn’t there yet. Emphasis on the -yet- though. Once they’ve overcome that hurdle it’ll probably become THE unconditional beginner distro once again.
Thanks for the advice! I plan on basically gaming half of the time, so… I’ll look into it. And try dual boot just to try everything. Btw, I have all my files on an SSD, together with window 11. Hope it will be possible to keep my files in the process 🫠
Am I the only one who thinks this doesn’t fit for the most of all?
Apple upper left, Windows upper right, BSD down left and Linux down right. End of the story.
apple upper left makes sense, since it’s only actually popular in the US.
windows upper right makes sense, since it’s the most used desktop OS.
BSD lower left makes sense, since it’s extremely rare for anyone to use it.
linux lower right… makes sense, but only if you consider servers. linux desktop usage would be closer to lower middle, or, depending on the distro, closer to the middle in general
Linux down right
My brother or sister
When was the last time you left the house?
See this as a combination. Tell me another independent mainstream OS? There is none, then it must be Linux because it’s the nearest possible.

That checks out.
No TempleOS no HannaMontanaLinux and you call it a meme? How dare you.
TempleOS is at the bottom left, at the margin
Wrong place for it, God’s own OS should be maximum authority
Likewise no jolla, considering Android is trying to create a walled garden like apple, and people are discussing alternatives lately
How is “wait 24 hours before installing an app” Android less corporate/authoritarian than Windows? Plus most Android devices are stuck running Android whereas you can always replace Windows with Linux
I think they meant the AOSP but technically most people also call that Android
AOSP, the operating system that nobody actually installs on anything. It’s about as niche as could possibly be, considering the only reason you’d install it is to work on the code.
For aesthetic reasons the chart only allows one OS per square, and any other arrangement would put Windows dangerously low. At least Android is mostly open-source.
There’s two squares for windows.
Right? No other OS gets two versions included.
Android is not mostly open source. Have you seen how incredibly limited AOSP is? It’s basically useless without all of the closed source parts Google puts on top.
Debian as more mainstream than Arch?
Top choice for Linux server in many cases
All but my work computer (they don’t let me) run some version of debian.
“Open source unlike iOS”
Lol.

AOSP hasn’t been a complete operating system in a long time, so don’t tell me Android is open source. It’s open source in the same way iOS is, the way that doesn’t matter.
Come back when they have user flash-able, daily drivable forks.
Lol.
To be fair though, you can build a more open android distribution like Graphene or Lineage, which you can’t do with iOS. Still an awful platform though
