Please be aware that there were only 4 elephants. Sorry Slackware & Gentoo enthusiasts.

GNU is one of the legs?
And here I am using FreeBSD.
alpine?
Wouldn’t have made much sense since it doesn’t use GNU utils by default. Also Hinduism lacks a sufficient amount of elephants to put all big source distros there anyway.
It would make sense in a meme about docker though, Alpine is really popular for containers.
oh yeah ig, the gnu part wouldn’t have made sense
“finish” really?
He’s a carpenter
GNU Terry Pratchett
FinNish
“Finish” means something entirely else
How can you tell them apart in normal, spoken conversations? The same pronunciation of the two different words have led to disastrous results, surely!
The word you’re looking for is “context.”
Im pretty sure they just wanted to jokingly point out how context matters and spelling usually doesn’t as much
What did some dude with a hobby finish?
Yes he is
Well he’s Finnish, but I don’t think he’s finished yet.
Why’s the disc not flat? Did some conspiracy nut draw this?
Probably someone who believes, there used to be five elephants.
Anyway never mind that. Back down the fat mines
The turtle moves!
You’re saying it’s a relativistic effect?
When light encounters a strong magical field it loses all sense of urgency. It slows right down. And on the Discworld the magic was embarrassingly strong, which meant that the soft yellow light of dawn flowed over the sleeping landscape like the caress of a gentle lover or, as some would have it, like golden syrup.

Damn Small Linux has entered the chat.
I’m offended by the fact that Debian is depicted as the same size as the other elephants. Offended!
I’m offended that Arch is there as an Elephant. Slackware would have way more right to be there.
Also Gentoo. :))
Arch is the arrogant mouse, gathering all the stories the elephants tell, making a huge library, asking for directions, the sometimes funny sometimes unreliable friend. No elephant is scared of them, they tolerate him enough because deep down they know they also need the mouse.
I remember when I thought Arch was unreliable.
Ever since the untimely death of CentOS I feel like Debian and its spin-off Ubuntu have been pulling double their weight in server applications.
Didn’t centos users switch to Rocky or Alma?
I think most people moved to Rocky Linux. The problem with Debian is that it can be a bit slow on security patches and it doesn’t ship with any security set up. It isn’t bad but it takes a little more knowledge to secure.
Yeah, what else would you use, Arch? 😂 It’s either Debian or Ubuntu if you need the corpo support.
gentoo would be here but its busy compiling a browser to view lemmy gimp to add its self in and its updates for the last year
Nowadays busy with making my useflags compatible with bin-packages to reduce time to update.
I am curious, though how adoption of this new feature is.
i don’t see it that way. i see pacman, apt, and rpm.
All I see is blonde… brunette…
zypper
I don’t think he’s finished
the whole turtle body should be GNU with the head as Linux
