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.
For aesthetic reasons the chart only allows one OS per square, and any other arrangement would put Windows dangerously low. At least Android is mostly open-source.
There’s two squares for windows.
Right? No other OS gets two versions included.
Android is not mostly open source. Have you seen how incredibly limited AOSP is? It’s basically useless without all of the closed source parts Google puts on top.
“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.

This is a much better version than the last one.
Needs TempleOS outside of the box
“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?!?
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.
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.
nixos is on the wrong side. literally funded by the United States’ war machine.
This is absolutely terrible.
Saying Redhat is based on Fedora just seems wrong. I know there was discussion about this when the simpler version was posted and I think I understand that, today, RHEL is downstream of Fedora. But Redhat existed before Fedora so it still feels wrong to say Fedora is based on Redhat.
“Fedora Core 1 was the first version of Fedora and was released on November 6, 2003.[15] It was codenamed Yarrow. Fedora Core 1 was based on Red Hat Linux 9.”
And putting RHEL anywhere but top line is sacrilege. Its actually, literally, specifically an IBM-purchased company’s product. The Linux part is free, but there’s corporate “special sauce” thrown in that’s closed source.
I feel like BSDs being more over in the corpo-lib corner would make more sense just from a licensing perspective
If you’re memeing, hard to omit Red Star OS
Isn’t that Red Star way over there in the top left corner?
Sorry yes, I meant that separate from the first point
I vote gLinux for the top left corner. Specifically made for in house work at Google, not officially available anywhere else. Or something similar.
For top left I’d like to humbly nominate SCO Unix.
In the super niche and very corporate corner, you should put Windows Server, because nobody uses Windows fucking Server.
Where does Bazzite fit into this? (Sincerely, someone who wants to switch to either Bazzite or CachyOS and can’t decide between them)
wedged in between cachy and fedora I would say
There’s an argument that it would be between Fedora and Ubuntu, since being immutable makes it more locked down and you are beholden to the devs to push out important updates like drivers. Then again it is basicallt customized Fedora Atomic so if we’re counting “Fedora” as an average of all Fedora versions, maybe not
check out Nobara if you’re looking for a gaming distro, based on Fedora and managed by the guy who makes Proton-GE
just a heads up for people, the guy, GE, lives in Colorado. He is prepared to follow whatever fedora chooses to do in response to age verification laws. I don’t blame him, but since I have been using Nobara for years, I will switch to something else if age verification comes to Nobara.
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.
