I have a fairly expensive espresso machine, but I only ever use that one button that makes simple black coffee. What does that say about me?

What about Moccha?
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.

I use Artix, but hate coffee altogether and would rather drink southern iced tea, what does that say?
Same here. I think we're Puppy Linux or XUbuntu maybe? I'm trying to pick a distro that's different, while also killing conversations among enthusiasts... Because all of my coffee enthusiast conversations inevitably die when I I mention tea.

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.

LOL what about regular coffee without fancy equipment? I vote alpine.
I mean...the cartoon has basically all kinds of coffee prep excepting french press, aeropress and the various ways to make cold brew. Are you talking about instant coffee? Because that's definitely windows....

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.

Didn't miss.
What about instant coffee? Arch user btw
Error. Does not compute. Instant coffee implies Microsoft Windows user. fzzt fzzt Bang

Debian on my servers. Fedora on my laptop. Gentoo in my kitchen (yep that exact espresso machine). I'm all over the place.
What about people who prefer tea?
Slackware.
If you want to learn Ubuntu, download Ubuntu.
If you want to learn Arch, download Arch.
If you want to learn Linux, download Slackware.

Ooh! It's a Silvia! It's backwards, but it's a Silvia.
I love my Silvia, but I use Pop!
Oh, and... https://feddit.nu/comment/11221082 ...I have and use an Aeropress.
I oscillate between void and debian. I use a french press. Idk what that says about me
It means you drink your coffee with your pinky out.
Why, though?
A french press is literally the easiest way to make coffee. There's hardly anything to fuck up and it's dirt cheap - like 10€ at Ikea.
From a sample size of 1 (me) PopOS users prepare their coffee with an Aeropress.
Seconded.

Declarative distros like nixos and guix just order from a barista or one of those office machines
I grind my own and use a manual hand pumped espresso machine. Should I be using BSD?
How does a manual espresso machine work? Do you need to use a cheater bar/lift weights to use one?
Either a hand pump with mechanical advantage or a lever-based machine with a long enough bar to make it easy - at least those are the manuals that I'm familiar with

Hey y'all, this one is an Apple user!
...but that's a good thing because Apple is certified UNIX.

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.
I also use Debian, not Gentoo...
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.
Fedora does look cool! It also has lots of customisability through theming and GNOME extensions.
