Toyota Corolla is not “fine”, it’s a marvel of engineering, reaching levels of reliability and quality control previously unfathomable, the world’s best-selling car of all time, still going strong and still constantly improving after six decades.

But yes, Debian is the Toyota Corolla of Linux.

I was going to say, stuff mostly working reliably is awesome.

The new Toyotas aren’t as reliable as before. Slowly getting worse. Which is a shame.

  If that’s the case, I’d better instead make the claim that Toyota used to be the Debian of cars.

    I have a 2015 Lexus. I really want to upgrade but nothing new is as good. Plus everyone has an SUV fetish and I prefer saloons.

It’s not so much a marvel of engineering as much as “if you make the tech as boring as possible, there’s less to go wrong”.

The Germans will sell you a luxury performance SUV with the same highway fuel consumption as the Corolla. Of course the Corolla will be more simple and reliable.
