@lancalot the "main" that are alive today are (like on this graph) https://rreinold.github.io/explore-linux/ :Debian, Slackware, RHEL, Gentoo, Arch & android
These are only the alive ones, however, I couldn't find any info about Nix OS so it remains on the maybe category cause I tried it and could not find any hint to the past

@lancalot OpenSUSE is based on SUSE (created in 1994)
Fedora was developed as a continuation of RHEL
Maybe "main" is not well appropriate, I wanted to say "distros that have no precedence & not based on anything", for example, 0.12 was a "main" distro, MCC Interim Linux was a "derivative" distro

@lancalot none of the "main" distros default to BTRFS, just "derivatives" default to BTRFS, Garuda is based on Arch, so it's normal that it's one of the rising new distros, Garuda rose because gaming on Linux received a huge boost from sources like Valve so I doubt that it (Garuda) will deviate from its path with time, plus, they provide multiple flavors for multiple purposes, gaming requires stability & sometimes a rollback mechanism, that's where BTRFS shine, not so much stability BTW

@lancalot @possiblylinux127 eh, also Garuda defaults to BTRFS, EOS does not default to BTRFS, but it has an option on their Calamares

@boredsquirrel can you use the phone's fingerprint sensor?
I think that there's an app for that but Open-source means choice

@drspod @SatyrSack Ventoy has bad parts yes but many things either are only supported by it or rely too much in it, for example, as a sysadmin I need to have at all time a winlol ISO (even though I hate myself every time I use it) and also as an IT I need to have a MediCat USB at all time, both cannot be done with Glim, so until a better solution sees the light of day, Ventoy should remain my main tool

@onlinepersona "the Linux Foundation", a newbie just reads it thinks that Linux is unified & has a big oranization regulating it & stuff 🤣 , but in reality, even a 5 YO with a PC or laptop in his parent's basement can create a Linux distro, without having access to anything but some mediocre documentations

@onlinepersona @boredsquirrel 🤣🤣🤣 "the Linux Foundation"
