    I wonder if NixOS is a vacuum coffee maker for how confusing nix looks when you see it for the first time or instant coffee for how reproducible it is…

    Debian user here, something wrong with getting the maximum lifespan you can out of devices and keeping them out of landfills?

    Before I upgraded last year, I was still using an i7 from 2010 with 8GB RAM and a 1 TB mechanical spinning drive. I jumped to a 12 core socket AM5 Ryzen 9 with 64GB RAM and a 4TB SSD. When I upgrade, I do it all at once and make sure it can last and actually do use the machine for a decade or more. The one before the i7 was an Athlon XP from 2002. In the span of 30 years I will have owned exactly three daily driver PCs.

    I am totally this meme. My vehicles seem to follow the same pattern as well. Jumping from a tape deck to a touchscreen was fun.

    I use Fedora and I don’t understand this

    I just want to pound my coffee and get to work. I finally gravitated to Fedora because it’s clean and just works. Too much setup on my Arch and Gentoo installs with way too much breakage. It’s fun to customize and tweak distros like those to an obsessive degree, until you actually need to get work done.

    As a Ubuntu user, I would never touch a kureig or whatever the hell it is. Those pod things are beyond stupid and you end up needing 2 for a normal sized coffee. Font forget the absurd cost for extra garbage.

    From a sample size of 1 (me) PopOS users prepare their coffee with an Aeropress.

      I’d say French press ≈ Linux Mint.

      Intuitive, easy to use and maintain, but despite the lack of fuss still delivers great results.

    If this holds up, then mint users are rocking a thirty year old one cup drip machine that only has one button, and only makes one regular mug at a time.

    Help me choose a distro!

    My coffee preparation method is:

    I drink this one kind of instant coffee that does not even need me to heat the water, I can just mix it in cold water and be good with it. It’s still coffee and I don’t have to make the slightest effort.

      In this case the distro doesn’t matter. Just have someone else install and maintain it for you.

        That is I guess Windows:

        • Installed by the manufacturer
        • “Maintained” by M$

        Just joking tho, I run Fedora, even lazy people have standards.

    No joke, I’ve had two Keurig machines break on me in the past year. Those machines are trash, built to break. After the second one, I just bought a $10 coffee pot, and it’s working great. It’s probably going to last me ten years. There’s barely any parts to break.

      Any distro on a bootable usb drive. Instant OS, no installation needed, just plug it in.

      I use Ubuntu and drink instant, in both cases because I can’t be bothered to expend more than minimum effort.

        Might reevaluate the “instant” part, then.

        (I’ve been using docker for 7 years or so, and it’s always some bullshit like undocumented environment variables or bullshit password limitations or broken smtp implementations or the repo just assuming you are the actual dev and giving no fucking instructions at all or the container shitting itself for no motherfucking reason at random times and you try to fix it and it goes well and then you wake up and it’s restarted several times through the night…)
