Arch user should be an aeropress: people can’t seem to shut the hell up about how great it supposedly is
I use areopress btw
It’s aeropress, did you even read the wiki???
I use areolapress btw ouch

Thanks, that actually worked. I couldn’t find the answer anywhere.
Solved!
Just pretend it’s a V60.
I brew with a V60, btw.
I don’t know shit about coffee, so I’m assuming you mean you make your coffee with a mid-size Volvo estate car. Pretty impressive.
Most people can’t appreciate the faint aroma of gasoline. ☕
As a Volvo fan, that was my first thought too.

On arch btw

I have an aeropress. I have yet to take the time to figure out how to use my aeropress.
The true arch experience.
100c water, 12g coffee per 200g water, pour 50g water into press then wait 30sec, stir, add the rest, add the press so the water doesnt flow, wait 2 more minutes then press down until hiss.
Easy peasy.
Stopping when you hear the hiss is important, if you don’t you’ll press the bitter nasty part into your coffee
That’s a myth watch some James Hoffmann.
Well it says 80C water up to IIRC the first line but are you really sure about that? Also what about your grind settings?
I refuse to accept the 80c recommendation from the manual
I use Arch, and let me tell you it’s great.
I use both Aeropress and an arch based distro, btw.
Lol. Checks out for me. Have an Aeropress, and use Arch (btw). I also have an espresso machine though, but never really touched Gentoo.
I have an aeropress and run arch haha
I think it is pretty great tbh, just havent tried it yet as it is very manual
Ok, what OS do I need?
Windows Subsystem for Linux
This response is a hate crime

No, that’s self harm.
it’s like the OS version of the banana & nutella pizza
Lol
Red Hat enterprise Linux?
Definitely Rocky Linux
Ew it’s Netware
Fedora Silverblue
YiffOS
Android? On-the-go and everything is boxed. Still only plastic.
As a DIYer Linux from Scratch obviously.
MacOS is Starbucks.
expensive coffee that tastes terrible!
You get to choose between burnt-tasting black coffee and a pint of milk with more syrup than espresso!
Worse, expensive coffee that tastes mediocre, but they insist they were the first ones to add flavourings to it.
Torvalds eating raw coffee beans straight from the can
Stallman prefers to refer to it as Coffee + Creamer.
Stallman dips his toe into the coffee before he drinks it
RMS would never touch Java.
Well except he uses fedora
LFS
i drink instant coffee because i just dont care anymore.
chromebook user
Chromebook is paying for coffee at a coffee shop.
No because then you might get decent coffee sometimes. Chromebook is getting coffee from a 7/11.
Chromebook is the coffee from the coffee machine in my university, which no one ever uses, and no one is certain has ever been cleaned
That shit is nasty.
US or Japan 7/11? I’m pretty sure they’re different grades of coffee.
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.
RedHat: Any of these, but you’re paying a barista to make it.
The barista also puts up a partition while making it, so you have to trust them not to spit in it.

As an Arch user who only makes pour-over coffee, I feel deeply attacked
I feel properly represented.
Well now I’m kind of weirded out to find others in these comments that are also exactly this
I just like my rituals and procedures!
Same except for being attacked and being an arch user.
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.
I suppose this depends entirely on your expectations?
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.
all of these are valid options for making coffe.
but what distro is this?
Slackware probably.
This is what I use. I just downloaded Mint Cinnamon yesterday. Not sure if that means anything.
Nixos? Lol maybe that’s aeropress tho
No matter what this is but its truly based.
Probably.
OpenSUSE Thumbleweed?
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 :-(
I’m really sad there isn’t a French press on here
Nor a moka pot, which is my preferred way.
Seeing as how the grounds are still sitting in the finished product, I’m going to say BSD but you don’t clear out the ports tree.
I’m not a BSD guy, but I like your analogy
As a French press user, I also opt for easier routes to Arch (EndeavourOS), and my head canon says so do we all.

Still scarred from my first Arch introduction years ago, I guess. Before it did.
It has a step-by-step guide on the wiki lol
Yup, those scars.
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.
Instant Coffee is Windows
🤣🤣🤣
And what would that be? A live usb?
Good idea! Maybe more specifically a live usb distro, like Puppy, Knoppix etc?
ChromeOS is coffee from Starbucks or something bad
instant coffee
Eww
Some instant coffee is just fine if you add milk. IMO it’s better than the cheap filter coffee that a lot of people I know drink.
I’m gonna report this as hate speech
GNU Guix, and NixOS, respectively
Feels like this is just a French Press with extra steps.
It’s very easy to clean and travel with, though. But yeah, it’s very close. Especially if you use a metallic mesh.
Indeed
Not even close. French presses are way larger, holding a can instead of a mug, generally glass, and are pure immersion brewers while aeropresses are immersion/infusion hybrids, giving you way more options. The grind sizes you use are also vastly different: French press grind is coarse to survive the long immersion, while people generally grind for aeropress in between filter coffee and espresso fineness – roughly what supermarkets sell as espresso fine (which it isn’t, espresso fine grind is basically the consistency of talcum powder and spoils within minutes).
And while it wouldn’t be right to claim that you can use them to make actual espresso you can use them to make concentrates that come darn close, definitely appropriate for a cappuccino, or tiramisu. You really don’t want to make concentrates with immersion.
Oh and by default aeropresses use paper filters, while French presses use sieves. Preferences differ but as you can get sieves for the aeropress again you have more options.
In short, it’s the brewer for someone who cares about coffee, probably has a (hand) grinder (and a mere chestnut at that), avoids buying any supermarket coffee and knows a source of proper but non-fancy beans, but doesn’t really want to go full nerd about it. Also, isn’t a hipster paying through their nose to get a Hario filter holder and papers in a Melitta region (or the opposite), or gets a ceramic filter holder which only means you have to heat it up… no upsides. Speaking of nerds.
In even shorter, it’s at a very very solid performance vs. fuss sweetspot. At least if you’re making a mug of coffee, if you need to supply a table full of guests… honestly if I had to do it right now I’d throw grinds and water into a pot, wait a bit, then filter the whole thing through an ordinary kitchen sieve followed by an ordinary paper filter holder, and hope for the best.

For asahi on Mac m1 iirc. What coffee is he?
Nah since 2008 according to Wikipedia. But I feel like Asahi would be a siphon coffee maker
Fairtrade Coffee from Starbucks
Uhm… I dont think so XD
Which distro uses a French press?
Voidlinux
Nobody else can tell that the end product is any different, but you know you’re different and special and that’s what matters.
How dare you. Everyone that I force to try my coffee says it’s amazing!
Its at least different.

Say you have never used a french press without saying you’ve never used a french press.
Funny, I would have said the same about voidlinux.
I think a common misconception about voidlinux is that it’s a distro solely used by people who have made it their lifegoal to tell people about how bad systemd is. I use void because it’s fast, and frankly because I like the way void does stuff. I feel like many people in the community are much more indifferent to systemd than people realize.
French press is the only way I have to make coffee at home, and I make one every day.
It’s called humor, it’s not supposed to be taken literally.
Humwhat?
Big aeropress fan. Where’s the Linux equivalent of that?
You know, Arch feels more like aeropress than a pourover.
I reckon Alpine. Nice and minimal …
Judging by what I use, NixOS.
see my other comment in this thread…
