I’ll add more distro from the suggestion in the comments.
If you want to do it yourself here the clean map.
Made with Gimp 3.0.6

Over the years in search of a daily driver, I’ve done Ubuntu > Pop > Kubuntu > Mint > more distro hopping > Mint.
It’s nice living on the beach. 😎
Meanwhile openSUSE is still in Germany, just lederhosen & none of this enchanting tropical nonsense.
I assume Hannah Montana is a mystical island only magical maps can lead to?
Gamers Bay of course with Steam and Bazzite. If there’s a spot for mobile, Mobian & Postmarket are both top tier
Steam OS feels more like a ship anchored in the archipelago. Bazzite is Indeed on land.
Why? SteamOS is based on Arch, it belongs here. I think a ship should probably be something like Android.
Maybe android in the welcome bay outside the disinformation?
Agreed
Gentoo belongs over on the Highs of Knowledge
Add Nixos. Also put Slackware to Valley of the lost
slackware smirks in the way that only the subgenius can.
praise bob.Slackware teaches more then debian or arch (trumped only by LFS or old school gentoo). But sure, not many use it.
Not really Linux, but TempleOS should be in the fog somewhere. Maybe technically off the archipelago, but close enough to be related to it in some way.
TempleOS actually enspirits a true hacker/unix philosophy, as bizarre as it is.
The Island of TempleOS is in the middle of the Holy Sea.
Add some more height to the image and put it on a temple in the clouds.
This is the way… disconnected from internet and closer to god
got it 👍
Where’s the GNU fortress, with trisquel, parabola and others?
Now let’s make an rpg in that map, or maybe a new quest for supertuxkart
Lol at arch on the mountain. Every fucking noob goes straight for Arch.
Nothing wrong with that, best way to learn the ropes is being chucked into the deep-end imho. Provided of course they are patient and willing to learn.
Thing is, even if you’re not patient and willing to learn, getting dumped into the deep end, struggling for 3 hours and then giving up and “downgrading” to something like mint or bazzite is still a whole lot better than trying to unfuck windows 11 into a workable state.
Basically this, they rage quit and go back to windows or even a Chromebook. I try to support customers on linux but they need to be talked away from Arch if they are just grtting started.
Arch forces people to learn what MOST dont want to and MOST people shouldn’t need to, just to do basic tasks on a computer.
Switch to Arch later if you’re curious and want the training wheels off, or don’t if you just want to use your pc as an appliance and walk away.
That’s a fair take. If they are someone who just simply has no interest in computers and just want something that “just works” then yeah, they definitely shouldn’t be told to get arch. I wasn’t saying noobs should be talked into arch first time round by any means, more so that if they wanna start with arch, there’s nothing wrong with that, and we should do our best to help them learn, instead of calling them noobs and dampening their interest/spirits.
For most computer users, the OS itself isn’t the hobby. It’s a tool that lets them do things like writing, browsing, drawing, gaming, etc, projects of various kinds, concurrently simultaneously for reasons unknown, in a word using their computer. It does not help them to say that ed(1) is the standard editor and that vi is bloated.
I agree
“Unfuck into workable state” is gold. Hope it’s open licensed. 🙏
Do they really? Most linux users that I know irl use Ubuntu and pretty much don’t know of the existance of other distros.
A lot of Ubuntu users know of other distros, but they like their free time
Think of Arch as the distro not as it’s users. Sure you can install Arch as a noob by copy pasting from ArchWiki or nowadays just using fancy install scripts.
However, if you pay attention and maybe fuck up a few times then you will get that knowledge.
Also ArchWiki is a source of knowledge that is valid not only for arch but most other distos as well.
Or Kali.
Manjaro is supposedly named after Mount Kilimanjaro and being arch-based, it would be appropriate to have it up on the mountain near Arch but lower.
Perhaps a $path going up the mountain range could be added.
The $path could be called “The Way” so you could put Arch BTW.
Gentoo and LFS to the Highs of Knowledge
Who is Terminal George
The result of Curious George after his “Let’s compile a Kernel!” hijinks!
Took me a minute to find openSUSE. It appears, the chameleon did its job
At this point I’m just glad Slackware is even on the map.
Slackware in the Valley of the Lost.
“I’m not dead.”
“Yes you are.”
“I want to go for a walk!”
I feel like NixOS should be down a mineshaft underneath the
Highs of KnowledgeAnd Guix somewhere below that
Guix is in the sky with our saint GNUciussius
I feel like Raspbian deserves a place on here somewhere, although I’m not sure where exactly. It’s the distro I’ve installed the most times since I like to do Raspberry Pi projects, and I imagine there’s quite a few people out there whose first major exposure to Linux was for the same reason. So maybe it should go near Welcome Bay?
A lush verdant field between where the Puppies frolic and the SUSE chameleons’ tree, where the people can harvest ripe Rasbianerries and fresh Mint.
