Inclusion of pfSense[edit]

Greetings. Perhaps I’ve missed something, but this page is about Linux distributions. Why is pfSense (FreeBSD) included in the article? 136.54.54.117 (talk) 22:32, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed - good catch, it has been removed. - Ahunt (talk) 23:02, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of AsteroidOS[edit]

Please include AsteroidOS, it’s a watch OS 2406:7400:92:A2C8:B45C:CCE8:DF07:9990 (talk) 01:35, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article includes only a few of the major distributions as examples, it is not an exhaustive list. AsteroidOS is a specialized distribution for smartwatches. - Ahunt (talk) 01:46, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
