Manjaro and ZorinOs instead of EndeavourOS and Bazzite is criminal.
You can purchase this as a poster from the artist: https://www.redbubble.com/i/poster/Linux-United-by-RadixRoss/160163174.LVTDI
You da real MVP
Why is Cent OS there? It’s dead.
But his soul is marching on…
Linux users, united?
People in this community will cry over what init system or desktop environment somebody else uses.
Yeah, because they have the freedom to even make those choices in the first place, lmao.
You can be united under democracy and by necessity still disagree over dirrerent ideas
get out of here with your moderate, nuanced viewpoint!
Listen “friend”, I don’t take kindly to you critiquing my choice in text editor like that when you’ve clearly chosen a slightly different one. I think it might be best if you just move along.
I worked on United Linux. It was very rough.
United my ass
United in their disdain for windows maybe
Here’s the original source, AFAIK: https://www.tumblr.com/sirityzer/708726935428235264/my-brother-commissioned-me-to-make-some-linux
Thank you!
Where’s the flag for Hannah Montana Linux
It’s way ahead of everyone else and will be the first in the line of fire.
Right next to TempleOS
Plot twist, they were with the axis powers
Dang it, now I have to do a reverse Italy.
(openSUSE represented in a meme? What a day!)
Imagine a KDE destroyer (kestroyer?) shattering your Windows from miles away!
You mean a KDEstroyer
Very ironic use of war propaganda, considering that Microsoft’s market model is closer to the colonial powers that usually use this format - and the fact that linux often attracts anarchists due to its open, collaborative design.
Is there specific war propaganda this is mirroring? Propaganda isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s very helpful in revolutionary resistance movements. Is this mirroring something specific or are you just talking about the aesthetics of it?
It’s a well-known propaganda poster from WW2.
Cool. So it’s the good propaganda.
Union Jack represented multiple times
🤔
Yes, how did those pesky English manage to add their symbol to all these other flags?
British, not English.
It‘s anti-fascist ww2 propaganda
Famously, peaceful movements don’t use a lot of propaganda posters.
Maybe we ask Shepard Fairey to do one for us? Or just some psychedelic 70’s concert poster with distros?
Edit: Don’t crucify me for using AI:
Edit 2: People downvoting, I was using AI as the tool it’s meant to be - a quick first draft, proof of concept to sort out ideas. I’m not going to spend hours mocking up both of these for a comment on a meme. I will spend time on one of them, maybe, later. Real human time with 10 fingers and eyes that aren’t all squishy.
Gimp is free 💔
JFC, I’m using it NOW to make a real version! It was a proof of concept use! Y’all are so blinded by hate.
I am not going to crucify you.
I will hang you on a comma!
Or in this case, on the robot’s bad spelling.

I like the style and mistakes of the 60s style one. Elemen Tart Os, KaLLLinux, the guitar strings at the headstock
in this case, the proper human artist would also be hallucinating
Thanks for actual feedback.
I also like the style, but the concert poster version would be much easier to mock-up in gimp. Though, it looks like most psychedelic concert posters were for single acts, not festivals, as would work best for a lineup of distros. I’ll see what happens.

I did not see your comment before I posted my own spelling corrections, you beat me to it
Elementart, my dear Whomp whomp!
Happy cake day 🙂
Thanks!
crucifies you anyway
I don’t understand what I’m looking at. Who is carrying the flags? The ship? The planes?
our hearts
I thought it was the MCP from Tron draped in flags
Linux Undivided
I want a linux phone. I won’t replace my Samsung s23 until I can get one.
Which distro uses this android as its logo? Purple flag.
Depending on which flag, either Tails or Gentoo
That’s Tails, and I think it represents a USB-stick with a smiley face.
Now that you mention it, I see it too, but it really does look like a blocky android xD
Tails I think
My life for Super Users!
