    I actually call Debian itself “old man”, not its users. I don’t know why, but that fits Debian in my mind.

        Except Colombians. According to a running joke a couple friends and I have had going since watching formula 1 decades ago, Columbian men spontaneously appear at age 27.

    Debian is that one guy on a construction site who, despite doing as little as possible each day, somehow is the only thing keeping the company functional.

      Debian is like 50s electric tools, not as effective as new ones, but will outlast everyone and everything

        inherited from my granddad, it’s been from his garage (shop) since the 60s, and it’s now forming 3D printed parts in my flat.

    I started calling it “Grandma Debian” for some reason.

    … I say this as a Debian user after new versions of Mint failed to accurately detect my RAID size. I tried Ubuntu for giggles, same problem, but Grandma Debian worked perfect out of the box.

    To be fair, it is a software RAID in the BIOS and those are known to be odd.
