Interesting. I use Mint. I’m not a Methodist.
My wife on the other hand is a Methodist lay speaker so…
I’ll take being a calculator, it really did resolve my main issues with debian
Every time I come on here I see another distro I haven’t heard about. This time it was Puppy Linux.
Hannah Montana Linux is still the goat
I’ve seen that one.
It’s a classic!
Linux Distro
Windows 11, macOS, and FreeBSD on the list
Wat
Think about it a little more…
A prosperity gospel church is still a church, unless you’re referring to WSL as the equivalent of “Linux”.
I do not consider those churches to be Christian. Their theology is significantly removed from orthoxy that it’s unrecognizable.
But even still, as with WSL, you can find some Christianity in there if you work really hard to find it.
Exhibit 9370 supporting officially renaming the “no true Scotsman” logical fallacy to “no true Christian”
If only Christians centuries ago agreed on a basic statement that could define what is orthodox Christianity…
Heaven’s Gate: TempleOS
Unfortunately I belong to Windows denomination
Unitarian UniversalismTo stick to the theme of my chart, since Unitarian Universalism is non-trinitarian it would likely need to be a Unix-like OS that isn’t Linux. I would give it OpenSolaris. (And that’s a compliment.)
I think several on your chart don’t believe in the Trinity? Pretty sure LDS, JW, and at least some Pentecostal? I think they all self-identify as Christian, though, but some Unitarians might not? Is that the difference?
That’s my exact thought process. I put LDS at Android because they do identify as Christian, but we are really stretching the definition of what technically counts as Christian.
Honestly I don’t know as much as I ought to about UU, but I didn’t think that they generally identify as Christian.
I looked up Lineage and see it’s also an Android variant. What’s the Pentecostal logo?
Pentecostal is KaOS.
A built-from-scratch Linux that doesn’t rely on any of the other branches and just does is own kinda specific thing. (You can probably suggest something better. I was kinda running out of ideas for that one.)
I freaking loved Opensolaris!, so that works too!
I disagree. You have MacOS as “Spiritual but not Religious”.
MacOS is Hillsong.
Also, many of these are not Christian, and many of these are not Linux.
MacOS is Hillsong.
I can see that.
Also, many of these are not Christian, and many of these are not Linux.
I’m aware.
ReactOS should be mormonism
It’s not Linux, thus not even “Christian”I just noticed, that the scheme also includes e.g. “Atheism” and “pagan”, which aren’t Christian denominations either.
Well to be fair, atheism and pagan also are assigned to non-Linux OSes here.
Yes, the title of the scheme is confusing.
I really thought more people in this group would get that joke.
Lemmd are often too literal. The meme makes perfect sense
If I go distro->religion then I guess I’m Orthodox.
If I go religion->distro then I guess I need to start using a TI graphing calculator.
If you use Slack then you are probably a person that finds benefit in self-inflicted struggles. You seriously might find benefit and meaning in the Orthodox Church.
I understand very few of these, except for arch, slack and the bottom row.
How is ope suse and chrome Os related? Are baptist and southern baptist very different?
Northern baptists were decentralized abolitionists, while southern baptists were centralized and pro-slavery.
Arch is the denomination that is super proud of itself, despite being messed up for most people. OpenSuse is Baptist due to it’s general reliability and flexibility. ChromeOS is Southern Baptist because it’s barely recognizable as Linux.
I’ve heard mostly bad things about southern baptists, so I understand why the chrome os. I’m unsure of the relations of baptists and southern baptists.
Evangelicals are typically traditional, very conservative, and proud. I thats a play on the arch user of doing everything in the command line and letting everyone know.
Orthodox is has some nuonsed diffrences to Catholic, but is under a different hierarchy. Not sure how that relates to slackware
The bottem row are all non Christian, so they are aptly not linux.
Orthodox is Slackware because it’s the oldest Christian denomination and changes very slowly.
Wait… Orthodox is the oldest? The Catholic rhetoric is that they are the oldest denomination. I feel bamboozled!
Orthodox
I’m sure the Catholics would disagree with me, and that’s fine with me. But personally I would say the Orthodox are the oldest continuous movement of Christianity. Not only do they historically beat out the Romans by a few decades, but also they have maintained a far more consistent liturgy over the millennia. The Catholics have had a a good handful of major liturgical changes that I would say constitute a few major breaks in historical consistency.
That’s not a criticism from me. I’m Anglican.
Well dang! From what I can tell, you’re right. Now I wanna check out an Orthodox church xD
Orthodox
The Orthodox communion is having a bit of a revival right now. Which happens on occasion for them, because they are really misunderstood in the West.
For example, in the 2000s they had a brief boom period where “new-agey” type people were attracted to the mystical aspects of the church. I think that boom was short lived because those people really just wanted spiritual consumerism, and, as far as Christian denominations go, Orthodoxy is hard work. It’s not for beginners. If you aren’t born into it then it’s really hard to break in. (By my understanding is that if you do the hard work the community and spiritual benefits are really meaningful.)
Unfortunately, today their current boom (if it’s still going on, this information is a few years old now) is coming from Proud boys-type people. They were interested it it because it’s seen as adequately homophobic and sexist for them. My guess is that their interest was ultimately short lived as well because they aren’t going to be interested in doing the work any more than the Live-Laugh-Love crowd was.
First up: FreeBSD is NOT a Linux distribution, and secondly, is NetBSD so small that it is nowhere to be found?
Berkeley software distribution ≠ Linux (or gnu+Linux, which is btw not true for all distros.)
Bro u r duuuuuuuumb (wanna kiss?)
Indeed, my love
😘
That’s part of the joke.
When was Windows 11, Lineage/Android, MacOS or a fucking TI calculator a proper Linux distro
Lineage/Android
Only the kernel is called Linux. The userspace is completely different from GNU/Linux but the actual software named Linux is being used. Alpine Linux isn’t GNU/Linux either.
FreeBSD is definitely Satanism
It’s very Christian to not understand the difference.
I was really proud of a lot of these jokes by the way. Many are multi-layered.
Which I would appreciate … if I had the least idea about Christian sects in the US.
Then you aren’t my main target audience.
Wait, ChromeOS was explicitly created to support the institution of chattel slavery? Who knew?!
Sounds about right to me.
It was created by google. That’s not impossible or even particularly improbable
