United Linux - the famous Red Hat Enterprise Linux killer!
Jarro Negro. Made by Mexican students. And as far as I know, it’s independent, not based on another distro.
Wsl just because it is from ms.
WSL isn’t a distro.
I think you mean Azure Linux ( formerly CBL Mariner ):
hyperbola
they have a wiki with insane nonsens about why they don’t package certain things
https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en%3Aphilosophy%3Aincompatible_packages
Why did I read all of this.
Wow, you weren’t kidding.
Have you ever heard of arch? That’s what I use by the way
Sabayon Linux
I used it for a few years, great distro. I think it’s dead now. It was based on Gentoo but with thoughtful defaults and a very good binary package manager.
also Funtoo Linux, but i never really used it
Rebecca Black OS.
It is the only Linux distro to date built around Weston, using Wayland’s full capability:
It doesn’t include any Rebecca Black theming or is related to her in any way.
It’s just called that cause the dev is a fan of hers.From the name, I expected a Hannah Montana Linux type distro.
I’m pretty sure that screenshot is Wayfire, not Weston.
Tell me if has a special “Friday” desktop at least.
KISS
it’s just a single bash script and a repository containing package definitions to compile them from source.
Basically LFS on drugs.
it’s main feature is that it completely redefines the system’s root directory structure. the only reason i even know it exists is because i’m friends with one of the creators
Gobo Linux has to have been the distro I was looking forward to most too. I really hope it picks up because it’s design philosophies. Absolutely phenomenal.
Smoothwall. I used to run it a lot back in the early 2000s for personal use and even helped set up a couple small businesses with it but I don’t hear of anyone else using it these days, people seem to love openwrt and pfsense more.
It was great for just taking any old x86 machine and making a powerful, fully featured firewall/router out of it, including a VPN server, all through a web interface. Nowadays that’s boring shit but in 2002 it was pretty cool.
We had this as the firewall in our school! I remember bypassing it in so many ways with Google DNS and whatnot.
Any reason to use this over opnsense?
Good old Smoothie. Served me well back then. I think it went commercial at some point.
Check out the random button on Distrowatch (distrowatch.com/random.php) - it’s like a Linux lottery, but you always win something weird!
Let’s make this a game. Click on it, then you have to install that on bare metal and daily it for a month.
Rockstor here. Which is interesting bc I’ve been thinking about setting up another NAS.
Oh god, I got Murena (LineageOS distro). How does one install that onto a ThinkPad T480…
Got RISC OS
mom, I’m scared
Ha I got tuxedo OS, hopefully thats not too niche
That’s what I’ve been running on my gaming machine and it’s been great.
That’s nice to hear!
I got Linux Lite, which I’ve tried in the past.
I got Plamo Linux
I’m gonna go with Tom’s Root Boot. Or maybe the father of all live distros, Knoppix.
Didn’t think Knoppix was obscure, but that was my gateway to Linux first on all my personal PCs.
I guess the years have passed it by.
Hannah Monata Linux and Red Star from North Korea.
Woah woah woah, there’s a North Korean Linux distribution!
Yes, of course. They can hardly use an OS that phones home to the US.
It’s interesting because it’s essentially the opposite of the idea behind Linux. Using Linux specifically to censor and spy on people is diabolical, but it makes sense why they chose it.
The idea behind Linux is to create an operating system anyone can use in any way they want.
That includes the North Korean government using it to spy on their people.
