      If you want to learn Ubuntu, download Ubuntu.

      If you want to learn Arch, download Arch.

      If you want to learn Linux, download Slackware.

        And after you have learned Linux, download any distro that lets you work on your projects with the least hassle and get work done without fiddling around in every aspect of the OS. At least that’s what I’ve observed among older users who see the OS as a tool and not a hobby in itself.

      I’d say French press ≈ Linux Mint.

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

        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…)

          Kinda like the instant coffee my grandma uses. For some reason it has no nutritional information on it at all. Not even caffeine content.

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

    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.

    What about the machine that you fill with beans and water and coffee comes out? I have had this thing for 4 years now?

        I got it used for 50€ from a lady who had like 7 parrots just roaming around her 1-room apartment.

    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.
