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.
Kind of you to assume Arch Linux is going to tell you what the outcome is going to look like :D
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.
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
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).
Gentoo:
More like LFS
I want that one:
How is the distro called?
Mor like gentoo or lfs… Arch nowadays is foolproof
Debian must be the 1999 Toyota Corolla
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.
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.
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.”
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
Makes sense why I like arch then because I dream of being able to have the time and money to build a car
You wouldn’t download a car.
Linux From Scratchthe finnish origins of both makes it extra good
fun game!
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.)
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.
Still wrong bedrock.
Next you’ll be showing me a block of
Shit, you’re right!
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?
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.
Fedora is the cutting edge consumer release of RedHat, so I wouldn’t call it either boring or reliable
Damn, I might need to hop to Kali
