    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 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

    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 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...

    [–] rtxn@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

    Nix is setting up a Rube Goldberg machine that brings you freshly made coffee straight to bed every morning: a lot of extra effort for the same cheap instant coffee.

    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.

    [–] kabi@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    In this case the distro doesn't matter. Just have someone else install and maintain it for you.

    [–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

    That is I guess Windows:

    • Installed by the manufacturer
    • "Maintained" by M$

    Just joking tho, I run Fedora, even lazy people have standards.

    [–] umbraroze@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Debian user here. Checks out.

    Though I use Windows (and Debian WSL) as desktop daily. The fact that I mostly drink instant coffee is possibly related.

    What about “gets my coffee from the free machine in the break room at work”?

    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.

    Debian stable let's goooooo

    [–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    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.

    Apparently I am a Tumbleweed user in Fedora clothing.

    M’lady.

    3-in-1 instant coffee packets are installing a distro into WSL from the Microsoft Store

    I grind my own and use a manual hand pumped espresso machine. Should I be using BSD?

    [–] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

    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...
