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.

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.

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...)

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

Samsy@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 1y

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!

I'm gonna claim "the coldbrew" for us, because it's always refreshing, chill, and in constant rotation. It might take a little longer to brew, but that's so it doesn't destabilize your entire system. Ahh...so smooth. :)

I use Fedora and I don't understand this

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.

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

amongstthetrees@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 1y

Pour overs are very forgiving and will give a decent result if your new or just eyeballing measurements but also if you want it exactly like you like it you'll use a scale.

Fedora IMO is pretty forgiving and if I want my Fedora install exactly how I like, I'll follow the same steps as always when configuring and setting up.

Just like a pour over/chemex.
