A really neat graphic I randomly stumbled across on Wikipedia.
No idea if this is accurate but it’s fascinating to see all these distros laid out this way.

Where do you live in this family tree?

I use this chart when teaching Linux. I think it does a great job of showing Linux’s “bazaar” vs. Windows’ “cathedral”.
I think you misspelled biza… oh, you meant that word. Ok.

as well as making a famous reference

When I was first hearing about linux, it was via Knoppix. Seems like a past life now, so long ago.
Knoppix saved so many Windows systems …
I installed Slackware in 1994 or so. Floppy. Disks.
Fast forward almost 30 years and I’m still trying new (to me) distros. Proxmox VE this time.
Proxmox isn’t a “distro” as most would colloquially think of one. It’s a hypervisor.
Am I taking crazy pills?
Do you mean you are using it to use your setup in a VM or container?
I cut my teeth on Mandrake 7.0.
There are many names on that list that I have tried over the years, but use Debian and openSUSE normally
My first flavour was Red Hat back in the late 90s. It’s a shame I didn’t give it more of a go back then. Then Mint for a couple of years in the earlyish 2010s before finally settling on Arch where I’ve been for almost a decade now.

Whoa, BSD predates V7? I had no idea.
I’ve been meaning to set up an 11 running 2BSD…
I did enjoy that, but look what you’ve done to my productivity.
Linux Mint
Started on Ubuntu in 09. - got the CD in the mail On kubuntu now
Ive bounced around all over arch, Manjaro, fedora, pop_os, mint but I always come back to kubuntu.
It just works for me.
I always forget chromeos is based on gentoo.
failed to install Debian Woody and SUSE in early naughts – finally succeeded with a Stage 1 Gentoo install (yay for me?) – a long sabbatical from Linux, back into the groove with Pop!_OS for a while, and recently replaced with Debian stable (successfully this time ;p ) – getting old enough that “bleeding edge” doesn’t hold any appeal any more, “boring” is far more interesting
Yggdrasil, Mandrake, Slackware (on floppy!) that takes me back…
The real hero here is the 75 line shell script, generating the very cool SVG image from a CSV file.
