Debian is either an utilitarian supercub or the red car from the Simpsons.
Slackware should be something out of r/redneckengineering
Heres a curveball: Android?
It's a vespa.
So which distro is the avrocar?
Linux From Scratch. They started it, but never figured out how to finish it and get it fully working.
Gentoo. Good idea on paper, takes a lot of time to get ready for arguable benefits
Just add a skirt and you get a hovercraft.
Which begs the next questionβ¦.
Debian would be a Volvo Estate, its the boring practical family choice, the owner is soneone boring like an architect or a financial advisor.
Arch is a Vauxhall Nova, second hand battered owned almost exclusively by teenage lads who spend a lot of time/money modifying it (e.g. lowering so it can't go over speed bumps, adding a massive exhaust to sound good but destroys engine power).
Fedora is something slightly larger/more expensive like a Ford Focus/VW Golf/Vauxhall Astra owned by slightly older lads. The owners spend their time adding lighting kits and the largest sound systems money can buy.
Slackware is clearly a Subaru Impreza, at one point the best World Rally Car but hasn't been a contender for a while. Almost all are owned by rally fans who spend fantastic amounts of time tinkering with the car to get set it up an ultimate rally car. None of the owners race cars.
OpenSuse is a Nissan Cube, its insanely practical. It should be the modern boring family choice, but it manages to ve too quirky for your architect while not practical enough for van drivers.
I don't know the other distros well enough.
I run Debian btw
Arch is a Vauxhall Novana
Nah, Arch is the reliant robin: it's minimal, requires constant maintenance, and while it might flip in a corner, it's pretty easy to get out and flip it back up ( it's a really good learning and training opportunity)

Now that's not true, I've been known to s- whispering, clearing throat my council has informed me that I should end this statement without any further detail.

Found the financial advisor.
Elementary, the futur from 2012 :

(I actually had one!)
Linux Mint in my opinion:
Cute I thought the headlights and plate looked like a face so I made some changes. https://imgur.com/a/nPXRRzP
I was not sure whether to add the eye brows or not.
Nah Linux Mint is a Kia Ceed.
Ubuntu is a Ford Focus, they successfully stole the volvo estate market (Debian). The car was fun, good value and very practical. It was everywhere. Then Ford started increasing the size, weight, price, etc.. killing the point of the Focus.
So along comes Kia trying to make a competitor in the Ceed.
In theory the Ceed is a great car, its super cheap, lots of cabin space, nippy, the inside has every modern convenance, but....
- It plays engine noises via speakers that aren't aligned with what you are doing
- The boot space is rubbish, so 5 people can happily travel in the car you barely fit a suitcase in it
- There is an steering sensitivity button that stays on at 70 MPH with no indication on the display
- A Vauxhall Nova just out accelerated you
Your left wondering why anyone is bothering with hot hatchbacks these days as you climb into your volvo

tractors defeat tanks
Ukrainian Farmers are terrifying.
I think of Debian as the Sensible Family Van.
A company sprinter
LFS:
I think Slackware would be more of a 2CV than a Multipla.
I had a 2cv. I still miss it. I don't miss slack
What could alpine be?
probably a kit car, or the underlying platform of something bigger than a car.
