Distrodle
Guess Linux distributions in Distrodle, a terminal-styled daily guessing game.
About Distrodle
Distrodle is a browser-based guessing game with a terminal-styled interface. The goal is to identify a hidden Linux distribution in as few tries as possible. It is inspired by Pokedle and Loldle.
To play, you select a difficulty level and type a distribution name, then submit a guess. Each guess is compared across 12 attributes, including package manager, init system, release model, parent distro, desktop, year, architecture, and category. Cells turn green for an exact match, yellow for a partial overlap, and red for no match. The Year column adds an arrow to show if the target is newer or older. Hints appear after every five incorrect guesses. Options include difficulty levels from Very Easy to Extreme, toggles for discontinued distros and BSD/UNIX systems, and a Distrodex catalog with filters and a family tree.
The game suits people who use or study Linux and want to test their knowledge of distributions and their technical differences.
