My coffee preparation method seems to be closest to the Ubuntu user. I use Pop OS and my coffeemaker is Philips HD7769/00 with an inbuilt bean grinder.
I prepare my coffee in a cup, and drink it with grounds. No milk, no sugar.
I am an embedded developer.
Sometimes when I’m too lazy to boil water, I leave coffee grounds with cold water in a cup overnight, the coffee is strong enough in the morning, and no need to wait for it to cool.
You’ve discovered cold brew!
I never have time for waiting for the kettle to boil so I do this on the daily.
I use Fedora and sometimes Debian (Debian is love! 🌀❤️), and brew my coffee in a moka pot.
Isn’t the coffee prep between Fedora and Arch the same?
Also what says it about me when I use those and the Ubuntu machine?
Oh… Yeah my raspberry and my server run Ubuntu.
My surface uses Fedora
And my computer uses EndeavourOS.
Yeah that checks out.
The jug is bloat
Filtered directly into the mouth.
Fedora and Arch are both pour-over, which is a subset of drip coffee. Would be nice to pick distros that really show that family tree.
Aeropress gang representing.
I run debbie kde plasma x11 btwAeropress and PopOs
I was gonna say, how do you know an aeropress/nixos user - they’ll tell you. But Debian works too 😂
Aeropress gang, but running mint.
Samesies
Same. “Works pretty well out of the box but I have the option to fuck it up”
That’s the best description I’ve heard in a while. Also, the user interface hasn’t changed in a decade.
Aeropress and Fedora! Apparently I should use Chemex instead
Okay, I have a Keurig for convenience but I prefer to make my coffee using a method that isn’t described here.
If you’re wondering, I prefer the French press.
…oh no.
I use a v60 btw
CentOS would be an empty coffee tin that still smells like coffee.
Can confirm. I’m a Debian user and use a Cuisinart grind and brew I’ve had for ages. It’s actually the second of two of the same model after the first broke following years of loyal service.
I have a Cuisinart grind and brew, which is pushing a decade old at this point. Love the thing and will replace it with something similar if it dies before I do. But, I use Ubuntu on my server and Arch on my desktop. So, not this meme fits, but it is funny.
I’ve been considering switching to Arch for my desktop. Is it worth it? Did you use anything else on desktop before switching?
BLUF: It’s been a mixed bag, but I would call it “worth it”.
I’ve used Ubuntu a bit before. That’s what my home server runs on and has for years. Granted, most of it’s functions live in Docker containers. I also used both Debian (via Kali) and Ubuntu at work (yes, I know Ubuntu is Debian based, but it’s also big enough to have it’s own dedicated ecosystem). I work in Cybersecurity and use Linux based tools for image acquisition, digital forensics and data recovery. Kali makes for a great “it just works” system to validate vulnerabilities and poke at a network. And, between a lot of tools targeting Ubuntu and frameworks like SANS SIFT, Ubuntu gets used a lot. I also supported several Red Hat based servers at work for various tools. I’m far from an expert on Linux, but I can usually hold my own.
In a lot of ways, Arch wasn’t an obvious choice for me. And I seriously considered going with Ubuntu (or another Debian based OS (e.g. PopOS)) at first. It’s worth mentioning that my primary use for my desktop is video games. So, that heavily effected my choices. That said, the reasons for choosing Arch ended up being:
- I have a SteamDeck and most of my games “just work” on it. With Arch being the flavor of Linux Valve is targeting, following their lead seemed like a good idea. I expected that a lot of effort to get games working on “Linux” would ultimately be focused on getting games working on Arch.
- I wanted a “minimal” system. I can be a bit of a control freak and privacy nut. I already self-host NextCloud, because I don’t want my pictures/data sitting on someone else’s computer. So, the “install only what you need” nature of Arch was appealing.
- I did do some testing of Ubuntu on my system and had driver issues (nVidia GPU) and some other problems I didn’t put the time into running down. In the end, it put me off Linux for a while before I came back to it and ran Arch.
One of the things I did, which was really helpful, was a “try before you buy” setup. I was coming from Windows 10. And, as mentioned above, gaming was my main use case. So, that had to work for me to make the jump. Otherwise, I was going to milk Windows 10 for as long as possible and then figure things out when it went EOS. So, I installed Arch on a USB 3.0 thumbdrive and left my Windows OS partition alone. I also mounted my “Games” drive (M.2 SSD) and installed games to that. It was still NTFS, but that only created minor bumps in the road. Running that configuration for a couple months proved out that Arch was going to work for me.
When it came time to fully change over, I formatted my Windows OS partition as ext4, setup the correct folder structure and rsync’d everything from the thumbdrive to it. So, everything was the way I’d had it for those couple months. I did have an issue that my BIOS refused to see the OS partition on the SATA SSD I used for my OS partition; but, that was MSI’s fault (I have an MSI motherboard). And that was resolved by changing where GRUB is located in my /boot partition.
Overall, I’ve been happy with the choice I made. Arch hasn’t always been easy. Even the Official Install Guide seems to come from a RTFM perspective. But, if you’re willing to put the time into it, you will learn a lot or you won’t have a functional system. And you’ll end up with a system where you can fire up a packet capture and have a really good idea of what each and every packet is about. As for gaming, so far I’ve had exactly one game which didn’t run on Linux. That was Call of Duty 6, which I was considering giving a go to play with some folks I know. But, Activision’s Anti-Cheat software is a hard “no” on Linux. So, I had to pass on that. Otherwise, every game I have wanted to play either had native Linux support or worked via Proton/WINE.
Filter into a Thermos?
Maybe Tumbleweed? You get bare coffee, with a well built stable base.
Looseleaf earl grey and 20 years of debian.
I use a drip machine, btw
I use a french press and endeavouros. don’t know what that says…
It says there are at least two of us!
Three now!
I use a Chemex, and I have used Fedora. I’m on Garuda now, which is my favorite, which is Arch based but with extra stuff, so the Chemex makes a lot of sense (fancy pour-over).
Linux Mint (Moccamaster) it just chugs along and makes the best coffee possible. Fast and reliable.
Moccamaster<3
I use debian btw
Why is this so accurate (even though I’ve tried many other distros and coffee makers)
$400 for a drip machine?
Must be a Mac user.
Its not a drip machine though, it’s more like a Chemex that doesn’t require you to do the pouring.
Moccamaster is a drip machine. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, Moccamaster makes good coffee.
I know some hate this but pour over, this chemex thing and Moccamaster, it’s all drip coffee lol. Drip coffee just has a bad and cheap reputation so most avoid using those terms.
270€ on Amazon here, but you sure got a chuckle out of me 😁
1 litre of delicious coffee in 5 minutes is hard to beat though.
It does make good drip coffee though. But best drip coffee imo comes from pour-over, but that can be less convenient and consistent than an automatic machine.
The analogy works well since its Debian-like, but way more awesome. The Moccamaster is great. As easy to use as a drip, but makes better coffee than the Chemex.
