hl2 car?
Kind of you to assume Arch Linux is going to tell you what the outcome is going to look like :D
I want that one:
How is the distro called?
That’s ubuntu
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).
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.
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.
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 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
Please…
For some reason I associate the colour red to the Renault Express. C15 is off white.
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!
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!
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:
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:
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)
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
You wouldn’t download a new car each time you want to download a new car.
That’s actually a realy good comparison!
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.
Why is kali always in these memes? Does anyone actually use it?
Only as image in a hypervisor for pentesting.
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
As many as are driving the correspondig vehicle legally on streets.
Damn Small Linux:
