Lubuntu a Scirocco/Corrado/RS1?

Pop OS

What is Linux from scratch than?

True. Should be a mountain of raw materials

Alpine

Ok but the radio station change might cause my car to spontaneously combust so I should make a new car from scratch with my car factory just in case, that way I'll still have a car.

Never change, NixOS

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.

I cannot stress enough how little I care what ChatGPT says about linux

And the shop drawings for all the parts.

Looks like Google livery so I'm going with ChromeOS.

Damn Small Linux:

Sloperators promoting clanker "opinions" be like

Then this is Windows 10/11:

Btw, it got stuck in Antarctica.

Could also be Windows 3.1 with the hot dog theme.

NGL, I think this is really freaking cool...

Too bad it runs Windows (by default)

That's not Windows, that's Oracle Solaris right there.

I'd also accept that car Homer designed. Or a cyber truck.

I was just about to write Linux From Scratch

Yeah, I moved over from Ubuntu after desnapping my system got too irritating.

Its legobricky indeed

I was expecting a pair of flip flops. :)

EDIT: oo, maybe one of those motor-unicycles!

Is there a motorized roller skate?

Then*

I wouldn't say that arch is nearly like that. Maybe you have to put on the doors and hood yourself or something maybe...

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.

Windows 3.1 was peak Windows and I will engage in fisticuffs with anyone who disagrees.

Do not utter the cursed one's name in vain!

Nascar. They removed a bunch of unnecessary stuff to make car go fast.

It's like a kit car. It comes with the chassis and engine all intact, technically street-legal. You just get to decide whether you want windshields and doors, which some people consider pretty obvious and too much of a hassle to pretend they're "optional"

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

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

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.

Mint looks about right, I rented a car much like that one and explored Greece from the south all the way to the northern mountains and loved every minute of it. Just like my last six or seven years of exclusive Linux use.

Use what makes you happy people, it's not a persona.

Interestingly, mint is what I daily drive as my distro and the car for it is what I prefer in terms of driving daily (I love me a hatchback).

However, Debian is a distro I would drive more often if it were more practical, and that car is my favorite ever that I wish I could have on a practical level

What's thefuck?

Hey! Gears changed by jamming a galvanized square steel pole into the floor is WAY more optimal than having a gear stick. Reduces weight, I may change gears often, but it's not EVERY time.

(I do have the gear stick on anyways in case I forget how to use the steel pole properly, but that's not the point!)

I made the correct choice. I want boring. That's the whole reason I left Windows. Printer drivers constantly failing, WiFi drivers somehow, constant power drain and overheating while my laptop was asleep and in my bookbag.

there's a joke about drivers in here somewhere

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.

Windows 3.1 was very usable and intuitive.

I used to run it in emulation on an iPad.
