Debian is 32 years old. Arch is 24 years old. Gentoo is 23 years old. Alpine is 20 years old.
Not sure why I assumed alpine was much newer (saw it primarily used with docker)
Same, never saw either a server or a desktop running alpine.
Most ubiquity equipment is alpine I believe
What is ubiquity equipment?
He probably means Ubiquiti network gear
In fact all major “corp distros” are based on community distros, for instance Ubuntu on Debian. If Debian ceased to exist, Ubuntu would as well.
What are fedora and opensuse based on?
Fedora is not “corp”, it’s a community project; Red Hat is the “corp” version based on it.
I don’t know about OpenSUSE that well, but it also seems to be a community-developed distro.
They reordered it recently so as to close the Red Hat source. I couldn’t tell which way though, but it sucked.
Didn’t know, thanks for the info.
Slackware is prehistoric
Slackware and Debian both started in 1993.
Debian is also prehistoric
Came here to mention slackware too.
