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 😭
Arch is kinda more like looking at a catalogue of parts.
Endevour is the same catalogue of parts, but with a flier inserted with a “recommmended loadout” where you can just check some boxes and get whatever it was you wanted, but the doors there to sawzall the trunk off and attach a cargo box if you want.
Gentoo is just a pile of steel and aluminum beams, a few drums of oil, a cow, and a note that reads “Good luck.”
In my experience, Arch (with pacman at least) is like clipping lego bricks together. Like “Oh, a wanna do this? Best get that”.
Yeah, I moved over from Ubuntu after desnapping my system got too irritating.
Its legobricky indeed
It’s kinda fun in that sense, like “oh I wanna try this, lemmie see if it’s in the repos and it is” and then it’s a four word command at most.
Debian should be a small truck (i.e. one that’s actually used for cargo, not as a penis prosthetic), and the bottom right is clearly Gentoo!
1995 Toyota Hilux
All i see is a technical waiting to be born.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as a technical, is in fact, GNU/Technical, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Technical.
That fits the vibe of Debian very well!
No one realizes how perfect of a choice this actually is.
Best episode they ever did.

Perfection. I have moved with one of these.

I can’t remember the name of it, but there’s one type of inexpensive small truck that I see people wishing for in the US constantly. Very utilitarian and barebones function over form. That would be a good fit.
That’s the one!
These kinds of trucks are called kei trucks.
Alpine?
Kei Truck
Ehhh, I think Debian should be like a 10-15 year old civic or something. You know an “ol’ reliable” type. It isn’t up to date and it’s not flashy, but it works and it works well.
Mint would probably be like a 2 year older version but with a fresh coat of paint and a lifted suspension.
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.
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.
Yeah that’s true, it’s more like changing the car builds a new car every time in case you want to go back to an old one (or eventually prune/gc and say good bye to the old cars lol)
More like the car changes parts around the user space. You still have the driver and baggage (files) intact inside the car.
Alternatively, you build a new car and teleport all of the inside of the car there, teleport the car to wherever the old one was and keep going from there.
I meam on boot it does do quite a lot of stuff and there are people who run nixos setups that basically erase everything and then relink the nix store to your root when you boot. Even tho i like nixos thats a bit too far for me. I use nixos like its an immutable distro where i build the image.

Then this is Windows
10/11:
Btw, it got stuck in Antarctica.
I’d also accept that car Homer designed. Or a cyber truck.
NGL, I think this is really freaking cool…
Too bad it runs Windows (by default)
Windows:
That’s not Windows, that’s Oracle Solaris right there.
Do not utter the cursed one’s name in vain!
TIL
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.
Damn Small Linux:
I was expecting a pair of flip flops. :)
EDIT: oo, maybe one of those motor-unicycles!
Is there a motorized roller skate?
Why is kali always in these memes? Does anyone actually use it?
You’re not supposed to, which means that lots of people probably do.
Yes and yes.
It’s a very easy way to have all the pen testing software you want when you wanna feel like a hacker.
Sounds stressful.
Is it not like having a stockpile of live weapons where you have to keep checking if the safeties are on?
Not really. You’re not at much risk of harming yourself with the tools, and if an attacker is already on your system able to execute arbitrary software, you’re already pretty well pwned
Which isn’t to say it doesn’t present any risk, just that it’s relatively negligible in a personal computing environment. In a corporate environment, you’d need strict controls on who can use those tools and when
I used it as a daily driver for the last couple years on one of my laptops
I like Debian and work in cybersecurity. I’d have to install all these tools anyway, so it made sense. Turns out OffSec doesn’t bother testing persistent installs. The stability as absolutely atrocious. I run into so many issues because they change things like the audio manager and I end up with both trying to run in parallel
Most people still say you’re not supposed to use it because of security issues. Those aren’t a concern these days. Lack of upgrade stability is the real reason not to have a persistent install, especially on bare metal
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.
Mint should be a Mitsubishi Mirage. People make fun of it, sure, but it keeps working anyway.
Mint is best for my purposes. Making fun from it is silly

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?
Who’s this?
MacOS
Could also be Windows 3.1 with the hot dog theme.
Windows 3.1 was peak Windows and I will engage in fisticuffs with anyone who disagrees.
Windows 3.1 was very usable and intuitive.
I used to run it in emulation on an iPad.
3.11 you mean.
One of those meme distros like AmogOS or UwUntu that’s technically usable for a few months but then the hobbyist who made it stops giving a fuck and abandons it
Pop OS
Looks like Google livery so I’m going with ChromeOS.
