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.

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

hot take?

Edit: got nothing against Ubuntu, it's Linux after all and that's what matters 🌻 Edit2: people took this very seriously for being a shower thought..

It’s Debian based so gets a pass, so long as it’s headless.

What's wrong with Debian?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

absolutely nothing, it's my preferred distro (and I have the grey beard to match). what I mean is that despite not using Ubuntu (or honestly even liking it that much), I give it a pass since it's the offspring of my preffered flavor.

Nothing, it's just a touch harder to use? I mean I use it on a old netbook and it works just fine. Did a net install and then loaded LightDM + MATE... Oh ... Yeah, there ya go, not quite as easy as Ubuntu. Still amazing for servers.

bingo, I enjoy the stabilty and simplicity for my servers but I wouldn't run vanilla debian for a desktop. ~~ironically I tend to use Linux Mint for desktop which I guess is a grandchild then, since it's based on Ubuntu :).~~ oops, I use LMDE, not Mint.. forgot that I switched a while back since it's directly debian based.

How do you like it? I wish they had a MATE version 😢

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

does the job I suppose. I don’t use desktop enough to have any useful thoughts about it. I like that it’s a decent gui over what I’m used to.
