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 (which is now a hand-me-down Minecraft box for my kid) was an Athlon XP from 2002 (still got that one in the basement, any retro collectors wanna clean it out for me? Case comes with big Quake and Nine Inch Nails logo stickers on the front applied by yours truly in my edgier days lol). 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.
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.
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.
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 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...
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.
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.
I use espresso, pour over, and v60 carafe from this image. But I now pretty much only use Deb and Fedora, and the occasional OpenSuse. Arch was fun, but too constantly "hands on" for use as a daily. Ubuntu used to be good (past tense). I got annoyed with constant manual compiling with Gentoo, but am considering going back to it anyway.
I have the second one, it takes about 2 minutes to make a cup of espresso, most of the time unattended, I've had it for 15 years, and yeah, it took some time to learn how to use at first.
Gentoo and Fedora should be switched. Poor over people are always snobs demanding perfect grinds, perfect water temperature, and perfect pour overs. Espresso users are the same but I like espresso and fedora lol
