Linux Guy Leaders

The Linux Guy Leaders are a group of eight influential Linux Guys within the Linux Guy Empire, each from one of the distribution factions that make up the empire on Linux L. The leaders play crucial roles in guiding their respective factions and maintaining the empire's stability, preventing it from arguing itself to destruction. They are responsible for leading each faction of the Empire and are below Diana in the simple three-tier authority structure of the empire.

## Role

The Linux Guy Leaders serve as the highest authority within their respective factions. They are responsible for making decisions, managing resources such as PC Parts, and ensuring the well-being of their fellow Linux Guys. Their primary goal is to uphold the principles and values of their chosen Linux distribution and ensuring that their faction is the most prosperous. This competitive nature ensures The Linux Guy Empire grows.

## Relationship with Diana

Diana is the leader of The Linux Guy Empire and has ultimate authority over all factions. She holds a unique and sometimes enigmatic position in relation to the Linux Guy Leaders. Unlike other empires, where leaders were democratically elected, Diana's leadership is autocratic. She maintains a firm grip on power and operates independently and remotely, with no need for validation or consensus from her leaders. While this arrangement is essentially a dictatorship, the Linux Guy leaders do not mind, due to how strong Diana is as a leader.

## Leaders

### Ubuntu Leader

The Ubuntu Leader, representing the Ubuntu Linux Guys, embodies the approachable and user-friendly nature of their faction. He values efficiency and ease of use, striving to make Linux accessible to a broad audience. Therefore, the Ubuntu Leader is very democratic and popular among the faction, consistently asking his subjects for their views.

### Fedora Leader

The Fedora Leader, representing the Fedora Linux Guys, is a minimalist and inventive character, promoting and practicing the Fedora Linux Guys' commitment to innovation and early adoption. He is a natural problem solver and is wary of outside influences from other factions that could compromise his distribution's integrity. He has a focus on efficiency and security.

### Mint Leader

Leading the Mint Linux Guys, the Mint Leader promotes the idea of Linux Mint as an evolution of Ubuntu, offering more power and customisation options, he therefore has a strong rivalry with the Ubuntu leader. He takes pride in Linux Mint's user-friendly interface, emphasizing its potential to attract PC Guys to The Linux Guy Empire. His leadership style is characterized by technological ingenuity and a desire to bridge the gap between PC and Linux Guys.

### Cent Leader

The Cent Leader, representing the Cent Linux Guys, faces the unique challenge of advocating for a discontinued distribution. He is staunchly independent and opposes the merger of Cent OS with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. His leadership is marked by inclusivity and support for Cent OS Stream over anything else, which is the spiritual successor to his favored distribution.

### Arch Leader

The Arch Leader, allied with the Arch Linux Guys, is a proponent of minimalism and user control. He believes that users should have the freedom to decide what goes on their computers and are against what he feels is the "dumbing down" of Linux. His leadership style is characterized by a focus on technical literacy and resistance to mainstream consumerism. He is extremely computer literate and can create very complex algorithms in a single day.

### Suse Leader

The Suse Leader, representing the Suse Linux Guys, is the most despised leader in the empire and is a common target for the long arguments that occur in the empire's walls. This is due to openSUSE's corporate structure. He passionately advocates for the technical superiority achieved through corporate support, however his subjects are notably divided into Leap and Tumbleweed Linux Guys, each promoting distinct update approaches. This means he has by far the hardest job of all Linux Guy Leaders.

### Debian Leader

The Debian Leader, leading the Debian Linux Guys, is an advocate of the purest form of Linux. He leads with a commitment to free and open-source software. He views Debian as the cornerstone of the Linux ecosystem and values its principles above all else. His leadership is marked by experience, maturity, and dedication to his distribution's legacy.

### Elementary Leader

The Elementary Leader leads the Elementary Linux Guys. He represents the youngest and most contemporary faction of Linux Guys. He prioritises user-friendliness and graphical interfaces, aiming to make Linux more appealing to the PC Guys. His leadership involves democracy, innovation, and a fresh perspective.
