I'll add more distro from the suggestion in the comments.
If you want to do it yourself here the clean map.

The uwuntu-nyarch-Linuwux triad are caves hidden below the mountain
added uwu
Oh suggested thoses as a joke, thank you!
I love this! Super fun!
I so want to see how you depict Yggdrassyl, though, the very first and only distro released by Linus himself
Grabbing my machete and wading into the jungles of Fedora.
I'd swap Arch and Gentoo - I think Gentoo should be on the precarious peak and Arch at a more accessible altitude.
I'd love to see alpine on there

Manjaro is supposedly named after Mount Kilimanjaro and being arch-based, it would be appropriate to have it up on the mountain near Arch but lower.
Perhaps a $path going up the mountain range could be added.
The $path could be called "The Way" so you could put Arch BTW.
I feel like Slackware needs to be higher up the mountain than Debian.
Trisquel and Dragora should be in Fredonia since they run on all free software by default.
somehow needs this meme in it:
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.
TempleOS actually enspirits a true hacker/unix philosophy, as bizarre as it is.Β

Garuda should be up near Bazzite

Took me a minute to find openSUSE. It appears, the chameleon did its job
Add Nixos. Also put Slackware to Valley of the lost
slackware smirks in the way that only the subgenius can.
praise bob.

you forgot to put OSX on there.
Okay, first I thought this is trash, but the more you explore the better it gets. Here, take a Lemmy award: π
Gamers Bay of course with Steam and Bazzite. If there's a spot for mobile, Mobian & Postmarket are both top tier
Steam OS feels more like a ship anchored in the archipelago. Bazzite is Indeed on land.

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?
I did Ubuntu > Pop > Kubuntu > Mint > more distro hopping > Mint.
Itβs nice living on the beach. π
This reminds me of my "Linux island" city in Cities Skylines! I can get screenshots later, but basically there's the main island of the Linux distros/districts, where the outer parts are more noob friendly and the inner parts are more "advanced", with the nearby, considerably more crowded and poorer Android island consisting of various Android ROMs.
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
If unraid is there I want openzfs to be there π
Gentoo belongs over on the Highs of Knowledge
Lol at arch on the mountain. Every fucking noob goes straight for Arch.
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 youβre not patient and willing to learn, getting dumped into the deep end, struggling for 3 hours and then giving up and βdowngradingβ to something like mint or bazzite is still a whole lot better than trying to unfuck windows 11 into a workable state.

At this point I'm just glad Slackware is even on the map.
Slackware in the Valley of the Lost.
