    To make it accurate. The final picture of Linux should have been a Frankenstein of a self-build car. Functional, but not aesthetically pleasing. And missing all the features you didn’t add yourself.

      My dad used to put Porsche engines in VW beetles. Yes, the plurals are intentional.

      Last time I installed arch or Gentoo it reminded me of a race car I drove with a friend. It rattles, it pops, it makes some strange noises but damn is it fast.

      And only pretty on the outside lol.

        What was it the Ferrari guy said? I don’t care about door gaps, when a Ferarri owner hits the gas I want him to shit his pants. Well if that ain’t Linux.

      What? Gnome is a beautiful DE that works flawlessly. It’s like being on a Mac that you can customize, have full control over, with window tiling out of the box, and saner keyboard shortcuts.

      I mean, it’s basically a classic Jeep or maybe Japanese make car. Everything built to take apart and put back together.
