- Including Unix and BSD.

If linux distros were WW2 tanks.
Linux Mint - M4 Sherman
Sturdy, reliable, easy to build and maintain
Ubuntu - T-34
Easy to build, does what you want it to but terribly unreliable and tends to break down after a while
Arch - Tiger
Hard to build and takes too long, works great in design but in practice it just breaks down, over riced causing it to be unstable
Debian - Challenger
The best, usable in any situation, fairly easy to build and mighty reliable.
Linux Lite - M24 Chaffee
Fast, small, easy to build and unusually reliable for a light distro.
CentOS - Char B1
Outdated but still a beast of a distro.
The fact you know this much about Linux distros and WW2 tanks might actually might actually make you the nerdiest of the nerds.
Dude this is awesome, and as a Linux nerd and tank nerd, a great comparison!
I find Rocky not being here at all funny.
Slackware - T-55 or M3 Stuart
Outdated and should have been dead and gone a long time ago, but somehow still in service in a few places and stable
