TempleOS.
I wonder if the job requirements for that role are really strict, or really relaxed.
Like, “you must have 10+ years experience cycling, live in the Vatican, be a Catholic, and know CQC to a deadly degree”… or… “be Nunzio’s neighbours boy and be willing to wear a dress.”
Debian is more like a honda accord or toyota prius.
Reliable, and only real car guys know they’re cool.

Civic, then, or Corolla
Civic, prius, yaris, corolla, accord (basically 90% f japanese cars) can be fit in this category
Also the development department lets you borrow the current new generation prototype if you want and suddenly it’s all current tech.
Linux From Scratchthe finnish origins of both makes it extra good

Interesting game, but they seemed to intentionally make it as anti-fun as possible. Assembling the car was cool. But, everything you had to do to get the car parts, keep yourself alive, etc. was pretty tedious.
Holy fuck this made me laugh my ass off. (btw, if make any videos My Winter Car I’ll be watching because that is an accurate description of my life at the moment.)
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.
NixOS:
Who wouldn’t want to have their car assembled automatically
beton scratchfrom scratch each time they need it ?I’m unsure if this is satire, but you don’t rebuild a NixOS system every time you boot or SSH into it or something. It’s sort of like the Arch “assemble your own vehicle how you want” image except it allows you to do so on new hardware declaratively. Like having dotfiles for the entire operating system configuration that are processed by the OS itself. Also really nice for unattended remote installation with https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-anywhere
I love nixos, it’s been my daily driver for the last 3 years for work and home.
A more accurate metaphor would be:
- When modding the car, with a arch, Debian of most other distros you actually mod the car. If you want to change the seats you physically install new seats.
- With nixos you don’t intervene directly on the car, you change the blueprint of the car and let the robot reassemble the car according to the blueprint.
Bazzite:
SteamOS:
Android:
Typically it’s more:
I dunno, my first thought for Bazzite after switching from Windows a couple of months ago was more like this:
And immutable distros in general would be like this:
Faster by far than getting stuck in Windows traffic and It Just Works™ to get you where you want to go, but it’s more difficult to go off the beaten path.
I’m a huge fan of immutable distros, but I’m not sure they’re mass transit.
Maybe:
It gets you where you want to go, but you don’t have to handle the toil of dealing with traffic.
My reason for the bullet train and subway in particular is the nature of being on tracks as well as avoiding traffic (Windows bloat in my use of the concept).
Great for the average user because they don’t have to really understand any of the systems involved or anything, just pick a stop and off it goes, but if you try to go off the beaten path at all, you’ll probably find yourself having to work around the immutable nature pretty quickly. You can’t just go anywhere with it like you would a car.
There’s a program that I had installed that for some stupid reason doesn’t let you log out on the Linux version and it auto logins as well, so if you log into the wrong account like I did when I installed it, you have to delete the user data from it. In Bazzite, it turns out that you can’t just go into the folder and do it manually, you have to use a specific application that comes with Bazzite to delete user data from an application. A minor annoyance, but I did have to go off the rails a little to solve the issue compared to how I would’ve handled it on Windows.

This comment made me realize I haven’t installed thefuck on my most recent linux installation. I have evolved past the point of making common mistakes.
What’s thefuck?
Terminal autocorrect when you say ‘fuck’ https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck
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
openSUSE
Tiny Core Linux(/Alpine/Void/etc)
OpenWrt
Then this is Windows
10/11:
Btw, it got stuck in Antarctica.
Ok, right, mine is 7 instead.
Vista, more likely. Win 7 wasn’t a chonky one (for the hardware of the time).
Windows:
That’s not Windows, that’s Oracle Solaris right there.
Do not utter the cursed one’s name in vain!
What the hell, that thing Is real!? I thought those were just some concept drawings like you get for future space craft from the 70’s.
I’d also accept that car Homer designed. Or a cyber truck.
Fedora
Proxmox?
Which would make this ESXI?
Especially since it’s on its way out.
BedrockLinux?
???Or probably more accurately one of these BYOVs:
I think you do not know what BedrockLinux is.
You confused fedora with RHEL (before 6)
No, I’m just old 😢
Or maybe yes, I’m just old idk 😭
I’m guessing Fedora is boring but reliable?
Fedora is the cutting edge consumer release of RedHat, so I wouldn’t call it either boring or reliable
That was my recollection of it, but apparently times have changed. Seems like Fedora and Debian should be swapped then, I never thought of Debian as fancy, but it is reliable.
Slackware:
Those 60s classic cars, though iconic, relied on a very different planned lifespan compared to modern cars. It was much shorter than the cars of today.
A better analogy for Debian would probably be an older Honda Civic model. It’s older and lacks many flashy or hyper-modern features, but it’s reliable, maintainable, and actively supported.
