The distro family trees are like different pantheons.

Distros are like individual gods. Community developers are priests and end-users are the commoners who pray for blessings, good fortune, and happy lives. Priests direct the prayers of commoners to their respective gods.

There is the Debian pantheon, ancient gods of peace and stillness.

The Arch pantheon, progressive gods that bring revolution along with a bit of chaos.

The Red Hat pantheon, gods tha- wtf am I writing?

Although maybe the meds would have taken away his inner insight. It amazing that singled handedly he built his own OS. It is a wacky system, but still amazing

        It is an incredible solo-effort, with largely simplistic features.

        As a usable OS, it’s a fever-dream curiosity.

    You are forgetting Knights Templar, Crusades, Inquisitions. Worth mentioning, all of these ended in failure.
