    To stick to the theme of my chart, since Unitarian Universalism is non-trinitarian it would likely need to be a Unix-like OS that isn't Linux. I would give it OpenSolaris. (And that's a compliment.)

    [–] jqubed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

    I think several on your chart don’t believe in the Trinity? Pretty sure LDS, JW, and at least some Pentecostal? I think they all self-identify as Christian, though, but some Unitarians might not? Is that the difference?

    I understand very few of these, except for arch, slack and the bottom row.

    How is ope suse and chrome Os related? Are baptist and southern baptist very different?

    Northern baptists were decentralized abolitionists, while southern baptists were centralized and pro-slavery.

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 4 points 1 month ago

    Arch is the denomination that is super proud of itself, despite being messed up for most people. OpenSuse is Baptist due to it's general reliability and flexibility. ChromeOS is Southern Baptist because it's barely recognizable as Linux.

    [–] ShyFae@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I've heard mostly bad things about southern baptists, so I understand why the chrome os. I'm unsure of the relations of baptists and southern baptists.

    Evangelicals are typically traditional, very conservative, and proud. I thats a play on the arch user of doing everything in the command line and letting everyone know.

    Orthodox is has some nuonsed diffrences to Catholic, but is under a different hierarchy. Not sure how that relates to slackware

    The bottem row are all non Christian, so they are aptly not linux.

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 5 points 1 month ago (4 children)

    Orthodox is Slackware because it's the oldest Christian denomination and changes very slowly.

    ReactOS should be mormonism

    If I go distro->religion then I guess I'm Orthodox.

    If I go religion->distro then I guess I need to start using a TI graphing calculator.

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 3 points 1 month ago

    If you use Slack then you are probably a person that finds benefit in self-inflicted struggles. You seriously might find benefit and meaning in the Orthodox Church.

    I was really proud of a lot of these jokes by the way. Many are multi-layered.

    [–] VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Which I would appreciate ... if I had the least idea about Christian sects in the US.

    Every time I come on here I see another distro I haven’t heard about. This time it was Puppy Linux.

    I have to find my damn calculator from 20 years ago?

    [–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

    Don't worry, you can buy a new one, but they're still the same price...

    Slackware really should be Church of the Subgenius.

    FreeBSD is definitely Satanism

    [–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

    It's very Christian to not understand the difference.

    I feel like you made this chart for me specifically, so thank you

    [–] btsax@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    Wait, ChromeOS was explicitly created to support the institution of chattel slavery? Who knew?!

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 7 points 1 month ago

    Sounds about right to me.

    It was created by google. That's not impossible or even particularly improbable

    Where does that put Judaism? Just a bare Linux kernel without the rest of the OS?

    [–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (5 children)

    Nah Unix should be Zoroastrianism and Judaism should be Minix

    I disagree. You have MacOS as "Spiritual but not Religious".

    MacOS is Hillsong.

    Also, many of these are not Christian denominations, and many of these are not Linux.

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 6 points 1 month ago

    MacOS is Hillsong.

    I can see that.

    Also, many of these are not Christian, and many of these are not Linux.

    I'm aware.

    [–] BlindFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    How do I know this isn't proganda from Big Christianity?

    ~guess this chart makes me metheodist tho~
