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 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 VE is a packaging of Linux as an operating system. It is a distribution. Straight from the wikipedia page:

        It is a Debian-based Linux distribution with a modified Ubuntu LTS kernel[7] and allows deployment and management of virtual machines and containers.[8][9]

        Cool way to respond to a comment btw:

        Am I taking crazy pills?

        The VMs I’m running in Proxmox are also Linux, but that’s less interesting to me.
