Fedora 
Proxmox?
Which would make this ESXI?
Especially since it's on its way out.
I'm guessing Fedora is boring but reliable?
That was my recollection of it, but apparently times have changed. Seems like Fedora and Debian should be swapped then, I never thought of Debian as fancy, but it is reliable.
Fedora is the cutting edge consumer release of RedHat, so I wouldn't call it either boring or reliable
Mint should be a Mitsubishi Mirage. People make fun of it, sure, but it keeps working anyway.
If Debian has to be something on four wheels it'll be a lorry. Something that does nothing fancy but absolutely essential and is doing alright thank you very much.

If Arch is this, what is Gentoo? An IKEA car?
Gentoo makes you compile the raw materials yourself
What is Linux from scratch than?
Papers and blueprints on how to make every part
Then*
I wouldn't say that arch is nearly like that. Maybe you have to put on the doors and hood yourself or something maybe...
Arch is kinda more like looking at a catalogue of parts.
Endevour is the same catalogue of parts, but with a flier inserted with a "recommmended loadout" where you can just check some boxes and get whatever it was you wanted, but the doors there to sawzall the trunk off and attach a cargo box if you want.
Gentoo is just a pile of steel and aluminum beams, a few drums of oil, a cow, and a note that reads "Good luck."
In my experience, Arch (with pacman at least) is like clipping lego bricks together. Like "Oh, a wanna do this? Best get that".

and they are each all awesome in their own right :)
Makes sense why I like arch then because I dream of being able to have the time and money to build a car
LFS is just a dew blocks of plastic, iron, copper and the rest of the raw materials.
there's a joke about drivers in here somewhere
where's gentoo?
Still compiling.
Hint: :q!
