    Arch user should be an aeropress: people can’t seem to shut the hell up about how great it supposedly is

        Nah, Starbucks is MacOS.

        It’s more expensive than it needs to be, but it looks really pretty, and fundamentally it’s still coffee, just like MacOS is Unix-based under the hood.

        A chromebook is more like a can of coke. It’s caffeinated, has mass-market appeal, but nobody’s going to be spending hours talking about just how great their can of coke is vs. someone else’s can of coke. A high-end chromebook is maybe a glass bottle of Mexican Coke.

      Instant coffee is windows, but you pirated it and disabled automatic updates. Cheap, kinda shitty, but it gets the job done.

      True. Very classy, kinda annoying and also fancy. Kinda complex but simple concept behind it.

      You have to repeatedly clean up the mess but its also rather easy to shake out. So semi automatic updates.

        It scales great actually. Have you never seen one of those mini pots that only make enough for one small cup?

      I feel like an idiot for taking so long to get one. After i brought it, a friend regifted me a milk frother. Zap the milk for 30 seconds and whip and you’ve got a barista drink at home.

      Couldn’t really make it work for me, gas stove and a moka pot seems too finicky. So I just do pourover

        I did use it on a gas stove (brought it with me when was on vacations at my parents lol) and totally works

        I think yours specifically might have a design issue

          I doubt it. The moka pot in general is finicky. Unless you put milk or something into the coffee I find it rather harsh and I don’t like milk in coffee.

          This is 100 % a matter of technique, I can make a good cup of coffee with it. I just need to dial in grind and ratios right, but even then it’s hard to control the temperature. By the time I go to that sputering hissy phase it becomes harsh and very bitter.

          In general it’s hard for me to find the sweet spot between battery acid and coal juice with a moka pot. Pourover is much more forgiving and consistent.

            Huh! we definitely don’t have the same taste, as I only ever drink coffee with milk, and as such i don’t care much about the exact taste that comes out of moka pot

            Thanks for you feedback!

    All I’m getting from this is that arch is easier than I expected and will give me a much better end result than the distros I’m used to.

      Absolutely yes to the first part, just use archinstall. The second is in large part up to you, but pacman + AUR are amazing.

        Yeah, this is the way, doing it manually is fun and all but its highly unnecessary extra effort as there are very little reasons as all of it is just configuration of the system. Archinstall is just the Text-GUI version that still offers the customize ability of the install. Heck you can load a configuration file that you can make before hand so that you don’t need to babysit the installation and can reproduce it in other systems/PCs.

      Arch is a doddle these days, but still has excellent documentation, which was always it’s strength (archwiki is life), read, learn. Personally it led me via fedora for stability to immutable ublue kinoite. When NixOS is there (stable), so shall I be, in the meantime I am happy with a distrobox arch with the AUR for all my random needs…

      It is very manual though. For rolling release BTRFS snapshots like on Fedora and Opensuse Tumbleweed are a total must.

    I’m really sad there isn’t a French press on here. That’s what I use and I was hoping to discover what my coffee distro is :-(

    Couldn’t be more wrong for me, lol

    Also, I feel like instant coffee should be represented - it’s one of the most common preparation methods and it’s easy to dunk on.
