Thanks!
This looks way cool. I am surprised, though, that they don’t feature MSLinux.

A post like this is probably why linux doesn’t hold more “market share” in households. if there were just, say, 10 distros and the linux community worked to make those 10 the absolute best....but no, they let their egos get in the way of a superior product. Any time you have to go to a command line, you’ve lost me. But that’s just me.

"Test it before you hate it" .... ROFLMAO! I'm sorry but that just cracked me up when I saw it. Almost spewed my morning coffee on my monitor.

Thanks for posting this site. Going to give it a visit.

I thought that the whole point of OpenSource was to support the creation of a single OS that was stable, resistant to hacking, efficient, powerful, easy-to-use, etc.

Instead we get 100+ different OSes. What good is that? Will a program I write for OS Number #37 work on OS #78? Maybe. Maybe not.

The same nonsense is going on with regard to computer languages: rather than expanding around existing proven languages we get a plethora of languages with a mixed bag of advantages and downsides that don't constitute real advancement. C++ makes sense as an expansion of C. Python is just a scripting language gone mad.

I know. I know. Python is popular and "powerful". But so is Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga.

As the oldest maintained POSIX compliant Linux distro, I was surprised not to see Slackware on that list.

Slackware Linux
