Also French press (this one) here. It’s great for hot coffee, but I prefer to use it for cold brew. Course grind and let it sit in there for almost a day at room temperature (I put either plastic wrap or an upside down plate to avoids surprise ingredients). Then plunge and pour into a cup for drinking and a storage container for the fridge.
Mostly Xubuntu but also SteamOS and EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma DE.
Does it affect the taste too much if you put the top on with the plunge down just a little bit? That’s what I usually do when doing cofe, but then it’s just five minutes so probably doesn’t affect as much.
I haven’t tested the taste doing it that way. I didn’t think it was a good idea to have the metal soak in it both because of taste but more importantly because of any damage it might do to the metal soaking for so long. I could just be superstitious though. I do put the pot on immediately when doing hot brew.
I use Debian and use a French French press since 9 years ^^

Imho: Be generous with the amount of coffe, don’t let it sit but very slowly start pressing almost right away.
Gives a rich flavor low in bitterness but high in caffeine.
I also use espresso beans for this technique just because it tastes better for me.
Side note: personally I prefer this coffee with a generous amount of (this is not) milk
