(Do not be fooled by the date, today is May 15, almost two months later since the creation of this file inside my computer)
First I'll begin with the ones that should continue to exist, even if they aren't free of their own set of problems, which thankfully do not spread anywhere else:
1. Alpine Linux Even though it's so minimalist to the point of feeling physical pain, especially coming from BSD (details...), it pretty much does its job well enough to make nearly every Linux-based distribution for network appliances pointless.
2. Gentoo Linux Weren't for the horrible reputation given to it by "people" on Reddit, or so it goes anyway, it is _almost_ perfect, particularly inside a server environment where tuning is, if anything, a key. So long as one doesn't go overboard. And there's overlays for just about anything (can't confirm that, but see the official overlay list if you want to prove it)
Now for everything else that should just disappear from the face of Earth:
1. Debian The bane of anyone who has somehow retained a little of their sanity's existence.
2. Arch Linux Need I explain?
3. Ubuntu Debian caught inside a power plant accident, with several traces of radiation poisoning
4. Most router operating systems that aren't from MicroTik Since OpenWRT is effectively using the Alpine package manager, you might as well get Alpine, this distro's patches (if any), the web interface, and BTFO

Comments? I'm often seen at #general @ irc.nishi.boats so if you want to yell at me, feel free, chances are I won't care, as this is a cathartic post more than anything.
