I’ll add more distro from the suggestion in the comments.

If you want to do it yourself here the clean map.

Made with Gimp 3.0.6

LAND of SLOPDOR

    Where’s the GNU fortress, with trisquel, parabola and others?

    Now let’s make an rpg in that map, or maybe a new quest for supertuxkart

    Meanwhile openSUSE is still in Germany, just lederhosen & none of this enchanting tropical nonsense.

    I assume Hannah Montana is a mystical island only magical maps can lead to?

    Move TempleOS to a floating sky temple, and make where it is Portable Bay, where various portable linux ships are moored, named Knoppix (a galleon), Puppy Linux (a fishing boat), Slax (a little sailboat), and TinyCore (a rowboat or kayak)

    Not really Linux, but TempleOS should be in the fog somewhere. Maybe technically off the archipelago, but close enough to be related to it in some way.

      Slackware teaches more then debian or arch (trumped only by LFS or old school gentoo). But sure, not many use it.

    Gamers Bay of course with Steam and Bazzite. If there’s a spot for mobile, Mobian & Postmarket are both top tier

    I feel like Raspbian deserves a place on here somewhere, although I’m not sure where exactly. It’s the distro I’ve installed the most times since I like to do Raspberry Pi projects, and I imagine there’s quite a few people out there whose first major exposure to Linux was for the same reason. So maybe it should go near Welcome Bay?

      Do they really? Most linux users that I know irl use Ubuntu and pretty much don’t know of the existance of other distros.

      Nothing wrong with that, best way to learn the ropes is being chucked into the deep-end imho. Provided of course they are patient and willing to learn.

        Thing is, even if you’re not patient and willing to learn, getting dumped into the deep end, struggling for 3 hours and then giving up and “downgrading” to something like mint or bazzite is still a whole lot better than trying to unfuck windows 11 into a workable state.

          Basically this, they rage quit and go back to windows or even a Chromebook. I try to support customers on linux but they need to be talked away from Arch if they are just grtting started.

          Arch forces people to learn what MOST dont want to and MOST people shouldn’t need to, just to do basic tasks on a computer.

          Switch to Arch later if you’re curious and want the training wheels off, or don’t if you just want to use your pc as an appliance and walk away.

            That’s a fair take. If they are someone who just simply has no interest in computers and just want something that “just works” then yeah, they definitely shouldn’t be told to get arch. I wasn’t saying noobs should be talked into arch first time round by any means, more so that if they wanna start with arch, there’s nothing wrong with that, and we should do our best to help them learn, instead of calling them noobs and dampening their interest/spirits.

              For most computer users, the OS itself isn’t the hobby. It’s a tool that lets them do things like writing, browsing, drawing, gaming, etc, projects of various kinds, concurrently simultaneously for reasons unknown, in a word using their computer. It does not help them to say that ed(1) is the standard editor and that vi is bloated.

    Instead of a circus, Ubuntu should be a bunch of people who live in a cave and see the world through shadows on the wall.
