A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Using Ubuntu may give off hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect. (self.showerthoughts)

Anyone using Ubuntu is one person less using windows. I call that a win. Everyone has to start somewhere!

Windows is so dominant in the market that not using it is still named after them.

I started on Debian potato and used pretty much every distribution at sone point, often three at a time. I've used Ubuntu for the last five years because it's easy, stable and upto date. I know people get very minmax about their choice of os and I love that but yeah we need to remember when we say it's 'fine' or 'good enough' that yeah it's not race tuned or weaponised or whatever special builds people are making but ita still much much better than windows.
