hl2 car?
Debian is more like a honda accord or toyota prius.
Reliable, and only real car guys know they’re cool.
Also the development department lets you borrow the current new generation prototype if you want and suddenly it’s all current tech.

Civic, then, or Corolla
Civic, prius, yaris, corolla, accord (basically 90% f japanese cars) can be fit in this category
Debian must be the 1999 Toyota Corolla
Debian is also one of the most secure distributions in terms of user control and security against vulnerabilities, since it is the same OS that runs most of the servers in the world - and therefore gets very quick and reliable security updates.
which is the joke.
I daily drive Debian on a couple of thirteen year old laptops. This is exactly right and I’m damn happy about it.
Me too. Rock solid, sane and lightning.
Newbie: Hi I just want a distro to go shopping and for family tasks.
Mechanic: You want a racing car. Lift the hood and I’ll show you how to operate all the adjustments. Racing cars need lots of tuning and youll need wide tyres too.
Newbie: Can’t I just drive to the shops?
Mechanic: But you need to learn under the hood first. That’s what Linux is all about.
Newbie: there is also no room for shopping in this racing car.
Mechanic: there is if it’s just text files. Don’t bother with all that jpeg and binary bloat.
Newbie: You know, as much as I hate Windows, either I didn’t need a mechanic, or got one who didn’t insist open the hood to operate it.
I installed Debian Linux for several computer-illiterate old ladies. They never had to look under the hood. They are very happy with it.
Yes. They shouldn’t need to. Sadly some think everyone should.
Kind of you to assume Arch Linux is going to tell you what the outcome is going to look like :D
Gentoo:
More like LFS
Which one is GNU Guix?
Guix is enthusiastic, principled, lean, very reliable, it is rolling release, completely defined and automatically built from source, but with cached binary standard packages. You have something like Python’s virtual environments in a terminal/shell, but with any distro package, and you can go back to any old version.
You also have to pray that your wifi works if using the default libre kernel. I’d liken it to a VW Beetle with a V12 engine swapped in to get it to run
I want that one:
How is the distro called?
That’s ubuntu
Mor like gentoo or lfs… Arch nowadays is foolproof
Damn, I might need to hop to Kali
LFS is just a dew blocks of plastic, iron, copper and the rest of the raw materials.
Now we’re just missing Gentoo and Linux From Scratch
My eleven year old laptop is running Kubuntu. I think it might be a Camry (absent the insanely dominant popularity).
How would SuSE Tumpleweed in a VM on top of OpenSuSE Leap look? (That is a system which is a very stable base (a bit like Debian) but with a very current rolling release edition on top of it - which is a great solution for combining productivity (shit just works) with a highly actual development environment.)
openSUSE would be a family SUV Porche
Do you have a picture?
Yeah I think it is a bit optimized for comfort.
what car would omarchy be? and what car would amogOS be?
omarchy
