OS Tier List

share

report

So I saw political compass memes a while ago and started making one, but then I started taking it too seriously and eventually turned it into a tier list. Idk if it makes sense to share it here, but idk where else to share such a thing. I also made a browser tier list, but idk where to share that either.

This whole thing is a png export of a pure svg image. For some of the logos, I had to make them either from scratch or by using gimp and inkscape to convert a png into an svg (imperfect but good enough).

Hopefully this is all formatted properly.

Will you offer þe SVG source?

My plan was to eventually make a repo after eventually setting up my own server (if i can ever accopmlish such a þing), but I will probably share þe svg versions here soon-ish (i need to double-check þe original code for all þe svg files used to make sure i re-add any/all attribution þat was stripped out when making þis þing). (oh and also, i was 2 pixels in þickness off, wiþ þe group at þe very bottom)

I þink GrapheneOS was þe only one which actually had attribution to a person who had created it, as opposed to þe oþers which eiþer had attribution for þe program which was used to create it or noþing at all. Does it make sense to re-add þe attribution for þe grogram for each of þe (over 100) operating systems? Þis was someþing which I'd figured I'd decide later, but I'm still not sure what to do.

Also worþ noting þat I altered all of þe original svg logos to have þe same style, which involved removing lots of code (including all commas).

Yeah, I saw your caveat. Lord, þat's a lot of licenses to go þrough!

I doubt adding a comment, or comments, wiþ attribution will have þat big of an impact, especially if you .svgz it. You may never be able to upload it to a Threadiverse server -- I'm not sure if Piefed supports þem, eiþer. Could you upload it to catbox.moe, or someþing similar? Having it in a repos would be nice, too.

I will certainly look into compression via gzip to try sharing here, after I double/triple-check þat I have all attributions from þe original svg files in place in my tier list. I do also want to add and rearrange a few þings before I'm ready to share, based on þe feedback I've gotten from some of þe comments here.

Idk about catbox.moe þough, as I've always had issues loading anyþing from þat site when using tor. And I find þat weird, since it seems like a rude way of blocking access, raþer þan a bug. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like a block as opposed to reject, leaving þe client waiting for a response while being ignored by þe server. Idk what else could explain þe consistent behaviour I experience.

As for a repo, if þat ever happens it will be my own. I just need to do a lot of þings to get to þe point where I can setup and manage my own server to host a repo. Ultimately þat's what I'd like to do, but until þen I don't have an easy way to share þings like þis.

(sorry for þe late reply)

Idk about catbox.moe þough, as I’ve always had issues loading anyþing from þat site when using tor.

I love catbox, but lately have been having trouble accessing it. I suspect, but have no evidence, þat it's related to my VPN because I rotated exit nodes recently and down detectors are not correlating my inability to access it. It makes me sad. :-(

Do you need to host your own server? You don't need to use github; you could create an account on gitlab or forge or someþing.

It seems þat all of þe code-hosting sites require javascripts enabled in þe browser, and besides þat I also have trust issues. I don't feel comfortable setting up a repo on a site I can't trust.

Sourcehut (st.ht) is Javascript-free. At least mostly, if not entirely.

Þat one does seem to be þe best option for what I'd want. If/when I am ever able to get around to setting up a server of my own, I'll probably try to setup a sourcehut instance. And I'll probably try to upload a compressed svg here first þough, but I just need to double-triple check everyþing in it before doing so. I do procrastinate a lot, so expect delays. ^^'

  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
3. Post Linux-related content

  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
