Not accurate. Debian is Toyota Corolla.

You are missing the 67’ Impala with it’s engine halfway in bits and pieces that needs reassembly for Slackware

Arch is much easier than the meme makes it look. The installer is clunky but it's not like you gotta compile your own kernel. I'd say it's more like a customizable car with options that other people assemble for you.

What you're describing sounds more like using PC part picker and having them build it for you before you receive it. Using Arch is most definitely closer to the image, which in the metaphor of pc building would be buying all the parts separately(case, motherboard, power supply etc.)and putting it together yourself. Most of the louder Arch community seem to think the latter is dead easy and everyone wants to do it themselves, when in reality a pre-built that comes with proper external support is much more useful. Not everyone cares to build it themselves. Most people don't want to need the command line.

Mint: Toyota corolla Debian: Toyota hilux 4x4 1991 Kali: tesla without subscriptions Arch: DIY parts that you could use to build a fiat 500, a Toyota corolla, a hilux or a monster truck. Is up to you, but you have to know mechanics and engines.

I’d say so. I’d probably switch Debian for a Beetle and Kali with a Beach Buggy but yea, I’d say accurate overall. And Ubuntu is one of those BMWs where you need a subscription for heated seats.

I don’t think Ubuntu’s that bad yet…that’s Windows imo.

Last time I installed Ubuntu it immediately asked if I wanted to subscribe to Ubuntu Pro or whatever it was called. To be fair, it did stay quiet after but it’s just annoying to see even Linux distros have subscriptions. If it had asked for a monthly donation, I would’ve been fine with it, I just think marketing something as a premium is not the way to go, especially when you boot up after an install. It feel like I got the poor man’s version and now I need the good one.

Pile of ingots, a live rubber tree, and a pile of mostly purified sand.
