What would CachyOS be?
It’s an Arch distro. Talk half the parts there, throw them in the car, then put the other half in a bag of spare parts and you have Cachy
Nascar. They removed a bunch of unnecessary stuff to make car go fast.
Then this is Windows
10/11:
Btw, it got stuck in Antarctica.
Windows:
That’s not Windows, that’s Oracle Solaris right there.
Do not utter the cursed one’s name in vain!
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.
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)
hl2 car?
Needs a picture of an open pit mine for Gentoo.
Is that not LFS?
Who’s this?
Pop OS
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.
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
Looks like Google livery so I’m going with ChromeOS.
Damn Small Linux:
I was expecting a pair of flip flops. :)
EDIT: oo, maybe one of those motor-unicycles!
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.
Nah NixOS is a picture of a factory automatically making cars
3D printing cars.
That’s actually a realy good comparison!
More exactly, the typewriter used to send commands to the car factory. Steampunk style
“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
The Delorian works too, but my brain jumped to something like this…
“Car as code” felt appropriate lol
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!
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.

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.

Alpine?
That’s the one!
These kinds of trucks are called kei trucks.
Kei Truck
1995 Toyota Hilux
Perfection. I have moved with one of these.

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.
No one realizes how perfect of a choice this actually is.
Can you explain why? I am from Germany … we don’t have that kind of pickup.
You likely had it 20+ years ago, especially in the mountains. The Hilux pickup is fairly indestructible. Top Gear did an episode where they tried to kill one (linked below in other comments) and couldn’t. It’s rather impressive. I’ve seen the same exact model rolling around Africa and the Balkans today. ISIS fighters were known for using them as platforms for large-caliber guns. It’s all about basic utility, stability, Toyota parts are easy to swap out, and adaptability to anything you feel like bolting on to it.
Best episode they ever did.
Agreed

All i see is a technical waiting to be born.
That fits the vibe of Debian very well!
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.
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.”
That’s lfs. Gentoo is a kit car like the Blakley Bearcat.
Edit: I’m gonna go read Gary Paulsen books now
I was just about to write Linux From Scratch
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
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 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”
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’d personally liken it more to one of those flat pack jeeps. with a little technical know-how you can get something decently barebones going, of course with ample opportunity for fun!!
kit cars do vary, and there are some that would fit this pretty well, but i’d say much of them are like linux from scratch if anything.
you get a list of parts and stuff, and some instructions on putting it together, but at the end of the day (realistically past that and into the early morning in my experience with LFS :3) the builder is much relied on for the actual customization and patching of everything together!
I viewed more as an Toyota.
openSUSE
Tiny Core Linux(/Alpine/Void/etc)
OpenWrt
Linux From Scratchfun 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.)
the finnish origins of both makes it extra good
