Damn, got me. Debian user, been using a basic Cuisinart bean to cup for years.
The heating element broke in my original machine earlier this year. Bought a used one of the exact same model with a broken water reservoir cover and carafe lid then transplanted those parts from my old machine.
Plan to use Debian unless it stops being developed or I die. Plan to use my Thinkpad until it dies. Also plan to use that same model of bean to cup machine unless I can’t find replacements when they inevitably die.
People sleep on the Cuisinart automagical machines a lot, and tbh I prefer the coffee from French Press or Aeropress, but… When it’s zero dark thirty and you aren’t fully awake yet that robot coffee magician is your best friend in the world.
In the army, when on sentry - no light, no noise, no fire - we’d open the pack of instant, swish it around with a mouthful of water, swallow through the regret. Not an LFS user, though.
I’d say Knoppix for that. You’re not really doing this for your daily driver, you’re just dealing with an urgent need to get you through your current predicament
Pop! all the way for me. I think Mint was second, but something about Pop just felt so much more natural and smooth. And it had remote desktop option out of the box, whereas all the others I would have had to install something.
Man I’m the exact opposite. Cinnamon feels like I’m wearing a pair of soft cotton gloves, Pop!_OS’ flavor of Gnome feels like I’m wearing a pair of George Foreman grills.
I get all the reasons why people hate snaps, and I think they’re all valid. And I appreciate people looking out for others and warning them about problematic software.
But man am I lazy, and I was really happy I didn’t need to set up Docker just to run Sonarr on Bazzite. I’m pretty new to Linux, and that looked like a whole intimidating process.
Which version of Ubuntu you’re installing (including which flavour), Whether you have network connectivity, Hardware stats, including CPU, RAM, GPU, etc, Your device vendor (e.g., Dell, Lenovo, etc), Your country (based on the time zone you pick, not IP), How long your install took to complete, Whether you have auto login enabled, Your disk layout (how many hard drives and partitions you have), Whether you chose to install third party codecs, Whether you chose to download updates during install
(According to OMG!Ubuntu) Most distros offer optional telemetry, but Ubuntu’s is opt out not opt in (for GNOME you have to separately install the telemetry)
I haven’t installed ubuntu in a while, but in EU you need to have prior consent from the user to gather any kind of data and if I remember correctly I haven’t seen such thing. And it’s not enough to bury that into documentation and say ‘if you use our software you allow us to blah blah’, you must get consent via an action from the user which spesifically allows that, so if telemetry comes silently with ‘apt dist-upgrade’ it’s not enough.
In Ubuntu in the post install screen theres is the telemetry screen where they explain it, allow you opt out and give you a json example of the data they’re collecting from your machine.
