      Debian is also one of the most secure distributions in terms of user control and security against vulnerabilities, since it is the same OS that runs most of the servers in the world - and therefore gets very quick and reliable security updates.

    Which one is GNU Guix?

    Guix is enthusiastic, principled, lean, very reliable, it is rolling release, completely defined and automatically built from source, but with cached binary standard packages. You have something like Python’s virtual environments in a terminal/shell, but with any distro package, and you can go back to any old version.

      You also have to pray that your wifi works if using the default libre kernel. I’d liken it to a VW Beetle with a V12 engine swapped in to get it to run

    How would SuSE Tumpleweed in a VM on top of OpenSuSE Leap look? (That is a system which is a very stable base (a bit like Debian) but with a very current rolling release edition on top of it - which is a great solution for combining productivity (shit just works) with a highly actual development environment.)

      I wonder if the job requirements for that role are really strict, or really relaxed.

      Like, “you must have 10+ years experience cycling, live in the Vatican, be a Catholic, and know CQC to a deadly degree”… or… “be Nunzio’s neighbours boy and be willing to wear a dress.”

    I wonder what centOS would be like? Somthing out of commission, but remembered fondly even though it was anything but special or elegant. But it worked. And if not you could fix it easily. Maybe a trabant?

      It need to be something elegant and powerful, but not unfortunately not perfect; all while still being available to most people. A Rover SD1 perhaps:

      And if not you could fix it easily

      And if not, you could leave it with the rest of the paper for recycling.

    Those 60s classic cars, though iconic, relied on a very different planned lifespan compared to modern cars. It was much shorter than the cars of today.

    A better analogy for Debian would probably be an older Honda Civic model. It’s older and lacks many flashy or hyper-modern features, but it’s reliable, maintainable, and actively supported.
