Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls “the plateau of sustainability”

    There’s a thing across Africa called “joking cousins.” Unlike genuine bad-blood tension between different ethnic groups that can often exist, it’s a jovial sibling rivalry style of thing. I’ve always seen the distro thing a bit like that. It gets tiring, but it’s sort of hard-coded into human nature to joke about slight differences when we’re all in the same tribe.

    Though, this graph is silly for the reasons you mention - I think that might be intentional as part of the joke. It’s stupid, so clearly OP is daily driving Kali and hacked the central database to add the distro logos. I dunno, maybe I’m explaining it away too easily.
