Arch, cause I set it up to my liking once out of curiosity when I was procrastinating, wrote a script that automates https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_maintenance and now am too lazy to switch to something else.
Especially since maintenance involves typing Update.sh once a week or so, and nothing else.

The idea behind Linux is to create an operating system anyone can use in any way they want.
That includes the North Korean government using it to spy on their people.

Let’s make this a game. Click on it, then you have to install that on bare metal and daily it for a month.

Gentoo still exists. Damn Small was dead for a decade but has risen again recently. Puppy is alive and well. Knoppix is still alive, but the last downloadable release is almost 4 years old.

It was dead for a long time, was replaced in spirit by Puppy Linux, and only recently was reactivated.

Yes, of course. They can hardly use an OS that phones home to the US.

Rebecca Black OS.
It is the only Linux distro to date built around Weston, using Wayland’s full capability:

It doesn’t include any Rebecca Black theming or is related to her in any way.
It’s just called that cause the dev is a fan of hers.

You can fold the bag in on itself from the inside so it doesn’t exist in the real world anymore.
Don’t ask me how that makes sense, it’s magic.

One of the Top 500 supercountries

That’s not that funny, it’s just being a dick.
Better to deal with this outside of the game and just tell them they aren’t welcome in your group anymore.

Be careful in a more realistic setting, where the rod stays fixed in place (in its own reference frame) while the earth, the solar system and the galaxy all keep moving at thousands of km per second.

A bag of beach.

It’s a bag of holding that contains a pocket dimension, with a beach, some palm trees, and a cocktail bar run by an Orc who wanted to get away from all the violence in his tribe.
The characters can all crawl into the bag and the last to enter turns the opening inside out, making the bag disappear in the real world.
It only fits a light-hearted campaign cause it takes the tension out of a dungeon crawl and it’s insanely powerful cause it lets the characters rest, heal and replenish their spells.

Also, Gnome or KDE?

Sure. Added it to the post.

Unix is basically a brand name.
BSD had to be completely re-written to remove all Unix code, so it could be published under a free license.
It isn’t Unix certified.

So it is Unix-derived, but not currently a Unix system (which is a completely meaningless term anyway).

They do use Ubuntu, Red Hat and SUSE mostly.
But for customers like that, the companies are of course willing to adjust the distro to their needs, with full support.
Microsoft uses their own Linux distro now.

Early computers didn’t have operating systems.
You just plugged in a punch card or tape with the program you want to run and the computer executed those exact instructions and nothing else.
Those programs were specifically written for that exact hardware (not even for that model, but for that machine).
To boot up the computer, you had to put a number of switches into the correct position (0 or 1), to bring its registers in the correct state to accept programs.

So you were the BIOS and bootloader, and there was no need for an OS because the userspace programs told the CPU directly what bits to flip.

That’s highly debatable.

Event Horizon

The Big Mac. 3rd fastest when it was built and also the cheapest, costing only $5.2 million.
