  • I’m currently using a pair of them for pour-over in a Hario V60. As others have mentioned, they do taste differently than paper filters. I rinse them thoroughly after each use, then hang just inside a sunny window to dry quickly. I also alternate each day between the two that I have, so that each one has an extra day to stay dry. Doing this while boiling them once a month or so keeps them well cleaned, no odors or odd tastes. However, you do end up using a decent amount of water over time to keep them clean; it’s unclear if saving a year’s worth (how long two CoffeeSocks last according to the manufacturer) of paper filters is worth the extra water consumption. I’m thinking of switching to paper myself, and keeping these as a backup.

    Yep, been using it as my daily driver for a few years now, aside from trying out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for a few months. I’ve settled on running it with sway as my wm for the time being. I’ve generally been pretty happy with it. I like the package manager and the relative simplicity of the system, which requires a bit more work to set up but seems easier to understand/fix when something goes wrong (usually user error in my experience, lol.) The developers also proved that they could learn from their mistakes with a minimum of drama after the whole kerfluffle with the original creator. Most packages that I need that aren’t in the repo can be had with flatpak. Overall, a relatively pleasant Linux distro experience.

    Edit: Forgot to mention, in my experience an actually stable AND rolling release distribution!

    Btw, here is a small void linux community for lemmy. It doesn’t appear to be very active, but hopefully that will change with time.




  • I keep coming back to Void Linux.

    It’s more hands-on and takes a little more work to set up initially than something like Ubuntu or Pop!_OS, but it’s simpler and generally more stable than Gentoo or Arch and has a nice, snappy package manager. The underlying system is simple enough that in the rare event something does break, it’s relatively easy to fix.

    It’s the first distro I’ve returned to since leaving Slackware a second time.
