Linux is a top-fuel dragster where you rebuild the engine every few races /s Fitting linux into this meme is pretty impossible considering how different distros can be. Mint is a two-seater grocery car, debian is an old volvo, gentoo is the drag racer, etc. Its like comparing a single car to a whole company.

It would be a car completely flat on the ground, made up of all it's parts neatly spread out. A geek stands in the center of it all holding an electric screwdriver in one hand and a blow torch in the other wearing a welders mask.

I mean, I have been maining Archlinux w/h KDE Plasma for about 3-4 years now. I don't want to go back to windows anytime soon as a daily driver. I just remember her being VERY preachy about linux. (Well, it was a linux class.)

Like one of those hot rods you build yourself from parts you source from a co-op.

There's defense, and there's defenestration.

I generally like Apple, but I’m SO GLAD the “Apple Car” project was cancelled.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

They just couldn't figure out how to restrict it only to Apple Roads.
