hl2 car?
Gentoo:
More like LFS
Mor like gentoo or lfs… Arch nowadays is foolproof
Now we’re just missing Gentoo and Linux From Scratch
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.
Fedora
Proxmox?
Which would make this ESXI?
Especially since it’s on its way out.
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.
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.

Agreed
Please…
For some reason I associate the colour red to the Renault Express. C15 is off white.
C15 was probably white in 1986 and is now a mixture of dirt, moss, rust and soot. Inside, it smells an almost unbearable melange of engine oil, dust, ashtray, wet dog and crumbling pleather. Somehow it still runs perfectly, except for the radio.

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.
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.
openSUSE
Tiny Core Linux(/Alpine/Void/etc)
OpenWrt
Then this is Windows
10/11:
Btw, it got stuck in Antarctica.
I’d also accept that car Homer designed. Or a cyber truck.
Windows:
That’s not Windows, that’s Oracle Solaris right there.
Do not utter the cursed one’s name in vain!
TIL
Ok, right, mine is 7 instead.
Vista, more likely. Win 7 wasn’t a chonky one (for the hardware of the time).
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.
Bazzite:
SteamOS:
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.
Android:
Typically it’s more:
Slackware:
Nah NixOS is a picture of a factory automatically making cars
“I want to change the radio station, get me a new car!”
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
More exactly, the typewriter used to send commands to the car factory. Steampunk style
3D printing cars.
I like to think it’s fitting for the analogy that with NixOS/Guix, you get access to the entire factory to build your car, since you pretty much have a framework at your disposal to build up your system how you want it.
Edit: should’ve scrolled a bit further, someone already beat me to it lol. Great minds think alike.

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.
