Seas of bytes have been written around the discussion between supporters of unifying efforts and supporters of diversity. The truth is that for each successful distribution, there must be 10 that are discontinued because they do not contribute anything new ……… ..But this article is not about distros like that, this article is about thematic distributions.
But not thematic in the field of use (distros oriented to education, security, rescue, audiovisual editing, multimedia center, etc.) …………. But around a theme… ..
1) The Hanna Montana Distros and Justin beiber
They are not a big deal. Hanna's is a Kubuntu with Hanna wallpapers, icons and music. Justin's is equivalent but based on Puppy. Then they say that Disney is an enemy of open source.
2) mangaka y otakux, loas distros for Otakus. Not to mention more……..
3) Mussolinux and Red Star …… ..Discontinued for the sake of the social democracy of the center.
4) Religious Distros
Who said that Linux was a thing of atheists and agnostics? If Saint Ignucius can be taken seriously, it also makes sense that there are religious distros. Today the famous Christian-oriented Ubuntu editions (ubuntuce) and Muslims (Sabily, formerly known as Ubuntu Muslim Edition) are still active and stand out for their applications oriented to their religions. In the case of UbuntuCE it contains Xiphos (to study the Bible), OpenLP and Quelea (for Christian karaoke in the church) in addition to having a parental filter (something essential …….). In the case of Sabily they have zekr (a study of the Koran, with translations included), Minbar (it tells you what time to pray kneeling on the carpet), Hijra (the Muslim calendar) ...... and of course, a parental filter.
There is also the satanic version, but it is the same as Justin Bieber's.
5) Distros in my language
I have no idea which was the first distro to incorporate support for the Spanish language, but there was a time when there were distros specialized in the language (some are still active). The main reason many are discontinued is because major distributions already have good support for those languages. They were for example: Bee Linux (in Berber, language spoken in Algeria), Nepalinux (in Nepali), Dzongkha Linux (in Dzongkha, the language of Bhutan), arabix (from the United Arab Emirates), ojuba (in Arabic, made in Jordan), B2D Linux and linux deepin (in Chinese, the first made in Taiwan, the other in the people's republic), turbolinux y I came Linux (in Japanese), Hacao (in Vietnamese), Boss e IndLinux (in Hindi), swecha (in Telugu), ehad y kinneret (in Israeli), Karamad (in Persian), pingo linux (in Slovenian), runtu (in Russian), NordisKnoppix (for the Scandinavian and Baltic languages, made in Norway), Baltix (for the Baltic languages, made in Lithuania), Alinex (in Portuguese) and LinEspa and Gulic-BSD (100% SPANISH !!!! !)
In a separate case, the Spanish distros of other languages can be mentioned: Augustux (Aragonese), Catix (Catalan), Lliurex (Valencian, a dialect of Catalan), Asturix (Asturian) and Galinux and Trisquel (Galician)
And this was my sample of distributions. Let the last one turn off the light.
