From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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

He is Assembly, Operating Systems require him to operate.

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

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.

Nah. It is DOS with Norton Commander.

In 1999, I bet he was running Gentoo.

The first release was in 2002.

Yeah he doesn't distribute it due to privacy and security. He wrote it himself.

Do not try and hack the distro, that's impossible.

Instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no distro.

Then you will realize it isn't the distro you hack, it is only yourself.
