What distro he uses? 🐧💻

The movie came out in 1999. In the movie, they state that it's 1999 (in the Matrix anyway). Neo is pretty tech savvy and a renowned hacker.

My assumption is he would've used FreeBSD. Or, maybe, Slackware. But I'm leaning more towards BSD.

Realistically, Debian, because it existed when the movie was set.

Hannah Montana Linux

KDE NEOn

Real image from the really official archived film 👍 👍

Slackware.

I wanna know what the newsreader he uses is

Well, since the movies where one big trans allegory, the answer can only be Arch.

I don't know the distro, but surely the messenger is based on Matrix protocol

There is no distro.

I don't know but he probably has cmatrix installed.

I think we all know the real answer, the matrix runs on windows XP

Kali

OpenBSD

He is Assembly, Operating Systems require him to operate.

Pretty sure he was using DOS in at least one scene.

i'm sure he runs his own, custom distro he spun himself

Probably debian or slackware, there weren't that many in 1999

Debian, the cool guy distro in 1999. The machine overlords run on Red Hat.

In the low budget parody version, Neo ran Slackware, and the climatic battle was basically about Agent Smith somehow fucking up his libc.so.6 but then Trinity got him a copy of the file on 3.5" floppy from another system. Or something.

GNU/Hurd

NixOS - about a year ago it would have been Arch, but the Nix bois seem to have overtaken them us.

LFS of course.

Symbian.

Gentoo

Void

Slackware or Debian testing

Arch btw

Kali?

LFS, he makes his own system.

neoOS, an operating system which can be ran inside of a browser.

macOS

*hides*

The Chosen OS

Nix 🤣🤣

The dude sees all the way through 0 and 1. He is the one OS

Tails

Mandriva

@bastonia debian 😏

Crunchbang #! (Or I guess they call it bunsenlabs now?)

Ubuntu LTS
