Update: I now have nobara. Kept windows in case I dont like it on the long term or something goes wrong. Nobara looked kinda more “noob oriented” than cachy. Had some issue to launch games that were previously installed, did some random things and it worked.
Everything went much easier than I expected!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The compass does not have to be filled
“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.
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
Come back when they have user flash-able, daily drivable forks.
Lol.
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
Further left, you can find KolibriOS, AROS and way, way further down-left you can find DuskOS
NGL, Dusk looks like a really cool project. Especially fun about 10 years after the whole “own nothing and be happy” bullshit takes root.
That might be the sign I waited to switch to Linux. Now… let me just search for the coolest noob friendly distro
Do it! It’s so easy. It’s also easy to build it up in your head like it’s this big complicated thing. It’s not. When I finally did it my first thought was “why didn’t I do this sooner?”
I’ve been happily using mint for years. Do it.
Regular use: Mint
Gaming: Nobara, Bazzite
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.
mint, pop_os, bazzite, fedora, nobara, mx, cachy, zorin
the coolest of those is cachyos probably
bazzite and cachy are intended for gaming but also sutied to other usage
more in detail:
- mint is basically ubuntu without the bad things (snap and canonicals other bullshit)
- pop_os is basically the same thing done differently
- bazzite is immutable (parts of the filesystem are read only, features easy update rollback) and fedora based and intended for gaming
- fedora is a simple and universal desktop distro that tends to try out new interesting technologies
- nobara is fedora with a few improvements
- mx is a simple and easy debian based distro
- cachy is arch but not difficult, has normal stuff preinstalled unlike arch, and is intended for gamers and is intended to let normies be power users
- zorin is another de-canonical-ed ubuntu but weird, it is kinda corporate
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.
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 🫠
I’m an Arch-using anarchist. Please help.
This is absolutely terrible.
“Some people don’t like snap”. I had the suspicion is was most people don’t like snap.
I’m yet to find a person who likes Snap, actually. Even if you prefer that way of installation, people just go to Flatpak.
I am a person who likes the snap package over some flatpaks. Mostly because the snap integration is sometimes better. Like handling copy/paste or notification bubbles.
No one significant; just security people, system architects, build/release people and support people, because of all the best-practice it breaks. Who cares about those chumps?!?
*most end users.
Better?
Top left, Huawei HarmonyOS
How the fuck did you manage to place Microsoft on a lower tier, Corporate-wise? They took the uber-corporatism that IBM had done and perfected it.
Yeah and MacOS is not more locked down than ChromeOS. That shit is useless. At least you can mess with Unix and terminal commands on Macs
Also you can install it in hackintoshes but that’s not an official thing so I don’t fault that point.
And if anything, Apple has been opening up for less corporatist approaches (okay, they’re legally forced, but at least they’re playing ball instead of forceful resistance).
at least they’re playing ball instead of forceful resistance
Uh what the fuck? In every case they’ve gotten better at all a law has absolutely been required to force them. But typically they don’t get better because typically with every new law they comply as maliciously as humanly possible.
You completely misunderstood what I said.
Yes, laws were required to make Apple do the logical thing. BUT the point is that instead of fighting those laws, Apple is actually implementing the required changes.
Meanwhile Google didn’t just remove the “don’t be evil” slogan, they’re actively enshittifying Android year on year. Is that the example you want Apple to follow?
But malicious compliance is absolutely fighting the laws. Plenty of legal ways to be shitty. Turns out I understood you perfectly because you’ve just stated the exact point again which I specifically was disagreeing with. That apple is not fighting the laws. Even if we ignore the malicious compliance you can be sure they’ve spend hundreds of billions over the years trying to stop laws or enforcement of laws that protect apple customers from apple. (No one is saying Google isn’t doing all of this too btw)
Is that the example you want Apple to follow?
I gotta say you don’t seem the most informed on this topic. Are you not aware that nearly every issue people have with Google, outside of ad/privacy concerns, is something they copied from apple? Removal of ports, reducing repairability, etc. Also right now Google is effectively looking to kill third party app stores. Which apple did from the start. In fact when the EU passed a law requiring apple to allow third party app stores, they complied maliciously as fuck. They made it so expensive to do so that no developer could publish an app outside the apple store without literally losing money even if the app was free, they still owe a steep fee, every year iirc.
