TeX is a typesetting system, Linux is an operating system, two rather different kinds of entities. Comparing the two things is a *mistake* that many Linux people do.

Yes but your message was the one about Debian/LaTeX = machines, not mine,

rather different kinds of entities. Comparing the two = things is a
*mistake* that many Linux people do. If we want to = compare things, we
should start with Perl, Python, Ruby, etc.
