    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?

      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.

      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.

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

          Wait… Orthodox is the oldest? The Catholic rhetoric is that they are the oldest denomination. I feel bamboozled!

            Orthodox

            I’m sure the Catholics would disagree with me, and that’s fine with me. But personally I would say the Orthodox are the oldest continuous movement of Christianity. Not only do they historically beat out the Romans by a few decades, but also they have maintained a far more consistent liturgy over the millennia. The Catholics have had a a good handful of major liturgical changes that I would say constitute a few major breaks in historical consistency.

            That’s not a criticism from me. I’m Anglican.

                Orthodox

                The Orthodox communion is having a bit of a revival right now. Which happens on occasion for them, because they are really misunderstood in the West.

                For example, in the 2000s they had a brief boom period where “new-agey” type people were attracted to the mystical aspects of the church. I think that boom was short lived because those people really just wanted spiritual consumerism, and, as far as Christian denominations go, Orthodoxy is hard work. It’s not for beginners. If you aren’t born into it then it’s really hard to break in. (By my understanding is that if you do the hard work the community and spiritual benefits are really meaningful.)

                Unfortunately, today their current boom (if it’s still going on, this information is a few years old now) is coming from Proud boys-type people. They were interested it it because it’s seen as adequately homophobic and sexist for them. My guess is that their interest was ultimately short lived as well because they aren’t going to be interested in doing the work any more than the Live-Laugh-Love crowd was.
