The Great Linux World Map

Posted by Soulskill on from the continental-drift dept.

N1ckR writes "Mrk has posted a fun Linux world map including 'The Suse Lake,' 'Noob Desert' and the 'Forbidden Land of Gentoo.' He said, 'The Great Linux World Map is a fun endeavor trying to portray the world of the Linux desktop as a sort of a Typus Orbis Terrarum. The map is no way representative in terms of actual market share usage or popularity. It's just a wild envisioning of how I see things, more or less.'"

    Someone is trying to be xkcd.

    Exactly. But Randall at least uses data to backup his maps (to decide their relative size and position). These just seem randomly placed.

    XKCD isn't funny, either.

    References to pop culture don't make you funny. Being funny makes you funny.
