  • Fast Food Linux

    From Farley Flud@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 19 07:29:39 2025
    The universe of GNU/Linux distros needs a more realistic
    classification:

    As far as I can surmise, there are only two major categories:

    Fast Food Linux
    ------------------
    Looks goods, smells good, tastes good, but is actually
    garbage, trash, and shit. These include Ubuntu, Mint,
    Debian, RedHat, ArchLinux, and all other mainstream
    distros.

    Gourmet Linux
    ----------------
    Designed for the intelligent and knowledgeable connoisseur.
    Requires great expertise in creation. Only Gentoo and
    LFS qualify.

    The case is closed.

    But how about ArchLinux is certified as "Kosher foods"?
    More about what this mean you can read in art. "Kosher foods", URL:

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_foods>

    So, in that case, is your classification still correct?

    ArchLinux is perhaps better classified as "Kopi luwak:"

    I think these both classification are not contradictory, and can be interchangeable.

    Do you actually do anything *USEFUL* on your computer? Or do you just
    muck around and waste your time for the sake of mucking around?

    See my challenge.

    Then see if you can do better.

    But you won't even get to first base.

    Option 2. I'm sure that Larry "Farley Flud" Pietraskiewicz is also
    working on getting the Linux kernel to run on his rusted-up 2002 Fiat 500.
