I like how there are 4 blue A's and there all a different Distro
For sure there are more!
*they're
grammar police
That's mostly fluff though. Like you show, the core is either Linux or bsd and gnu, and then you have a handful of families.
That's not fragmentation, that's freedom.
And compatibility is a big factor too. Because of gnu and posix basically, almost anything that works on one distro will work on another.
Imagine if each distro was completely locked from anything on another one. That would be fragmentation, and we wouldn't be talking about it, because it would be shit.
Which one of the blue As is arch?
i think the one next to debian
My distro didn't make the cut. That meme is just the tip of the iceberg...
Let me guess: Hannah Montana?
That one is my side OS π . My main is Nitrux.
the monopoly has been crumbling for years. high time for devs to develop with linux in mind.
What is the logo to the left of Tux and BSD?
Edit: I think it's GNU?
Iβd just like to interject for a momentβ¦
What you're referring to as Linux is in fact GNU/Linux or, as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU+Linux
GNU
What's the logo that looks exactly like Arch but with a stylized X over it? I can't find any distro with that logo.

Guys, we're sexualizing anime girls ironically, right? Right, guys? Guys?
I cringe every time when someone compares a single Windows version to a whole distribution, and some of them even have more versions than Windows.
Horrible post
I wish there was more variety.
You basically have BSD and Linux and in the Linux space {glibc/musl systemd/openrc/runit PKGBUILD,ebuild,deb,rpm} which seems like a lot but itβs the really niche stuff thatβs fun to pull apart and play with.
That's very good. Less opportunities for a monopoly
Variety is the spice of life.
