    I think you’re missing quite a few like:

    • z/OS it’s IBM’s mainframe OS, so super corporate and niche
    • raspberry pi os should be included because it’s pretty mainstream
    • android and iOS should be on there because they’re very mainstream, not technically desktop OSs but for a normie with a tablet what’s the difference?
    • there’s a lot of embedded OSs that could be added (open WRT, Windows IoT, NetBSD)
    • no Temple OS?
    • free DOS?
    • Whatever special ones they use for super mission critical stuff like the ISS

    Hmm, I don’t see how Corporate can be on a scale though. Either the distro is run by a corporation, or it’s not.

      i think an OS can be made entirely by a corporation, or entirely by one hobbyist with no funding. something like fedora is made by volunteers with corporate funding, whereas something like Arch is made by volunteers with donations, some of which might be coming from corporate representatives

  • GUIX top left

    • dictates to the OS how it has to be
    • requires a lot of reading theory
    • no ties to anduril

    nixOS top right

    • dictates to the OS how it has to be
    • recruits people snatchers

    context 1
    context 2

    Edit: Ah I missed the axes are not labeled like the common political compass. Nvm then. Put NixOS above RHEL and guix above arch.

      NixOS is definitely not as corporate as MacOS or ChromeOS. It’s also not as mainstream as RHEL. I’d say RHEL should be one square to the right, NixOS should go where RHEL is now, and Guix should share the square with Gentoo.

    LOL at Windows being marked as less corporate than MacOS. They should absolutely be at least tied.

        But on the other hand, all the reasons that people hate corporate OSes apply much more to Microsoft than Apple. Microsoft is the company that puts ads in their OS and is built entirely out of proprietary tech, and has been more vocal about shoehorning AI into everything.

        That’s a poor qualifier. Most corporations do not deploy MacOS to their employees. Windows belongs in the top right, if not a full line by itself for Corporate.

        Why is “used by companies” criteria for being corporate?

        Companies use doors. Are doors “corporate” now?

          Debian had corporate funding, even if they those corporations don’t have any ibfluence. It being one of the oldest and mostly widely used Linux distributions means that by the virtue of it being an enterprise-level system it is somewhat more corporate. Debian can neatly fit into most corporate and enterprise systems and probably is somewhere in almost everyone’s stack. That’s not bad and doesn’t make it a corpo distro, but it definitely is more “corporate” than something like Arch which it is rightfully juxtaposed against

      Not to be confused with openSUSE though, even if there is some overlap. Maybe that one is down another step.
