    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 Artix, but hate coffee altogether and would rather drink southern iced tea, what does that say?

      Same here. I think we’re Puppy Linux or XUbuntu maybe? I’m trying to pick a distro that’s different, while also killing conversations among enthusiasts… Because all of my coffee enthusiast conversations inevitably die when I I mention tea.

    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.

    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.

      I’d say French press ≈ Linux Mint.

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

      I mean…the cartoon has basically all kinds of coffee prep excepting french press, aeropress and the various ways to make cold brew. Are you talking about instant coffee? Because that’s definitely windows…

    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.

    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.

    I have a fairly expensive espresso machine, but I only ever use that one button that makes simple black coffee. What does that say about me?
