Slackware or Debian testing
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.
I wanna know what the newsreader he uses is
Looks a bit like the Arachne browser for DOS.
Real image from the really official archived film 👍 👍
neoOS, an operating system which can be ran inside of a browser.
I think we all know the real answer, the matrix runs on windows XP
Nix 🤣🤣
Pretty sure he was using DOS in at least one scene.
GNU/Hurd
macOS
*hides*
I use Fedora and Debian, btw. I’m just as old and mostly stable even if I’ll never be perfect.
Tails
Hannah Montana Linux
This, but maybe slackware with the hannah montana ui.
no sane hacker would choose slackware over hannah montana
LFS, he makes his own system.
KDE NEOn
Realistically, Debian, because it existed when the movie was set.
And also because realistically there’s no need for any other distro. :P
Other distros exist to teach people that Debian is better.
We had tons of Linux distros then. Maybe more than today if you exclude all the Debian clones
