    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.

      The ultimate coffee device for max lifespan is vietnamese phin filter. $10, will never break.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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 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…

    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 enjoy the memes, but I’m embarrassed to admit I actually don’t know what the difference between linux distros are.

      I think you’re courageous to admit it in spite of feeling embarrassed, and I admire that.

      If we all ask and share without ego, the world gets just a little bit better. :)

      The software philosophy of the maintainers and their choice of packages and design.

      A simple but important difference: the package-manager: apt, dnf or pacman (there is more but let’s bring it down to these three).

      Another one is security: apparmor or selinux

      The last one are preferred and preinstalled Desktop-Environments.

      And if you want to keep it simple, just be based on another distro and let them do the hard work.

      Everyone can start their own distro. Manage some packages together, choose for example: Based on Arch, pacman, selinux and hyprland-wm and name it hypearch. Et voila!
