The distro family trees are like different pantheons.
Distros are like individual gods. Community developers are priests and end-users are the commoners who pray for blessings, good fortune, and happy lives. Priests direct the prayers of commoners to their respective gods.

The Arch pantheon, progressive gods that bring revolution along with a bit of chaos.
The Red Hat pantheon, gods tha- wtf am I writing?

Some evenings, when a piece of code I wrote compiles on the first try and it all seems so straightforward and simple, I feel blessed by the Spirit of the Machine.
Me neither, but I do enjoy it
