What does Linux flavor taste like
I totally forgot I'd made this post so when I came back later and started scrolling all the replies in my notifications I was very confused
@mcc obviously, never the same twice, thousands of different variations that run the full gamut from "so bad you could die" to "really pretty good honestly", and it's semi luck of the draw which one you get
@mcc cold coffee and stale Cheetos?
@mcc homemade with undertones of corporate boot and dirt

@mcc

Before systemd, like ozone. Nowadays it's a stench of overheated mineral oil.

@mcc sorry I can't help, I don't have that kind of synesthesia

@mcc I know what one of them tastes like

mint

@foone @mcc Probably like one of those
@eukara @foone @mcc Tastes like 4 of these quickly followed up with a cold glass of water
@foone @mcc And one of those tastes like cinnamon mint
@foone @mcc ok good I'm glad someone made this joke already
@mcc
Some cooking required. It’s nutritious and somewhat tasty if you cook it correctly, but the cooking directions are scattered across multiple years-old posts on half a dozen different web sites, and if you cook it wrong it’s a neurotoxin
@mcc cinnamon, mint, mate, vanilla… depends which one you pick! some aren’t edible or tasty though. a couple taste like eating your hat.
@mcc like water from a well actually
@mcc it tastes like metal but it smells like burned toast
@tef @mcc it’s like a shishito pepper. 9 in 10 taste like that, but the remaining one tastes like delicious candy. Visually impossible to know which in advance though
@glyph @mcc i burned my tongue with 2.2 and the libc upgrade so i haven't tasted anything since
@mcc One of those smoothies with an ingredient list like "Orange, Pineapple, Mango, Kale, entirely too much ginger, and some grass clippings from out back."
@mcc It's like water, the flavor comes from what you add to it
@mcc Like bash, written in white on a dark background.
@mcc
Drinking orange juice after brushing your teeth.
@mcc old soap, if this (fantastic!) webcomic is any indication: https://dresdencodak.com/2012/08/09/dark-science-20/
@mcc like Comtrol Hostess SV-11 cupcakes
@mcc looks and tastes like Chelsea Cucumber  
@mcc rat. it tastes like rat. (xfce)
@mcc
Similar to but not quite like gnu
