The more you think about it

Please be aware that there were only 4 elephants. Sorry Slackware & Gentoo enthusiasts.

I'm offended by the fact that Debian is depicted as the same size as the other elephants. Offended!
- Ever since the untimely death of CentOS I feel like Debian and its spin-off Ubuntu have been pulling double their weight in server applications.
  
  Didn't centos users switch to Rocky or Alma?
  
  Yeah, what else would you use, Arch? 😂 It's either Debian or Ubuntu if you need the corpo support.
- I'm offended that Arch is there as an Elephant. Slackware would have way more right to be there.
  Also Gentoo. :))
  
  Arch is the arrogant mouse, gathering all the stories the elephants tell, making a huge library, asking for directions, the sometimes funny sometimes unreliable friend. No elephant is scared of them, they tolerate him enough because deep down they know they also need the mouse.

Why's the disc not flat? Did some conspiracy nut draw this?
- Probably someone who believes, there used to be five elephants.
  
  Anyway never mind that. Back down the fat mines
- The turtle moves!
  
  You're saying it's a relativistic effect?

What did some dude with a hobby finish?
- Yes he is
  
  Well he's Finnish, but I don't think he's finished yet.

GNU Terry Pratchett

gentoo would be here but its busy compiling a browser to view lemmy gimp to add its self in and its updates for the last year
- Nowadays busy with making my useflags compatible with bin-packages to reduce time to update.
  I am curious, though how adoption of this new feature is.

"finish" really?
- He's a carpenter

FinNish
"Finish" means something entirely else
- How can you tell them apart in normal, spoken conversations? The same pronunciation of the two different words have led to disastrous results, surely!
  
  The word you're looking for is "context."

alpine?
- Wouldn't have made much sense since it doesn't use GNU utils by default. Also Hinduism lacks a sufficient amount of elephants to put all big source distros there anyway.
  It would make sense in a meme about docker though, Alpine is really popular for containers.
  
  oh yeah ig, the gnu part wouldn't have made sense

i don't see it that way. i see pacman, apt, and rpm.
- All I see is blonde... brunette...zypper

And here I am using FreeBSD.

- GNU is one of the legs?

Damn Small Linux has entered the chat.

I don't think he's finished

the whole turtle body should be GNU with the head as Linux

Alpine Linux enters the chat
