Real βœ…

There are pictures of four cars depicting four popular Linux distributions.

There is a green colored hatchback for Linux Mint, a classic longbody American convertible for Debian, an offroad buggy for Kali Linux, and a disassembled sedan car for Arch Linux.

@itsfoss Hey, at least they're not Gentoo.

Really the arch one isn't fair. Unless you're manually installing or something, the installer lets you select which environment package you want and preinstalls all the basics, so it's kind of like "which of those other three sorts of cars do you want this to be?" You still have to do a lot yourself, but it's definitely starting with an already together and functioning framework.

A picture of a car frame in My Summer Car.  It has literally nothing but the frame itself.  No doors, no engine, no battery, no wires even.

Well, the windshield is preinstalled I guess.

A picture of the garage with most of the parts.  They're not even all there though and you have to buy some.  Unlike the Arch image, these are not alternate sporty options.  These are old rusty things that are misaligned and worn out.  And there are no instructions anywhere either.  Good luck!

@itsfoss Ubuntu is like Debian, but with a roof on and comes in black with orange seats and dashboard.

@itsfoss Linux Mint is a car without doors since they don't allow useful encryption anymore.
