Sometimes Linux is like if you go to a bar and order a gin and tonic and the bartender nods and goes out back to plant a juniper tree.
and yet this is better than when linux is like if you order a gin and tonic and the bartender nods and hands you a weird off brand version of a ready made canned g&t
i'd rather run void or arch because it knows its for turbonerds and doesn't hide it, than ubuntu that tries to be for people who don't know what an operating system even is, is what i'm saying. the former is at least good at that thing
I mean sometimes linux is like if you order a gin and tonic and the bartender nods then fires up the glassblowing kiln and and starts prepping cup molds, then turns and asks if you happen to have a shaker and strainer and everyone else at the bar insists that you should have had those ready for the bartender when you asked
Linux is like if you order a gin and tonic at a bar, the bartender hands you a bottle of gin, tonic syrup, and a lime, tells you you were supposed to bring your own glass, ice, shaker, cutting board, and knife, and presumes you’ve been making cocktails since you were 14 years old and typically distill your own gin.
I think it's rather optimistic to assume that the Linux bar would, in fact, serve gin (in ANY state of preparation) when asked to serve it—instead of treating the customer to a harangue about how whiskies are the only good liquor ~Chara
