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

I was a CentOS-man for a number of years. But Linux is for servers and hobby projects in this house. MacOS is my primary driver. Still mad at IBM / Red Hat.
I went to kick the tires on RockyLinux, but then realized I don't have any projects in mind and asked myself why bother. It'll be my first choice when the time is right again.
I wouldnβt say hipster, Iβd say nerd. Hipster implies that they think itβs cool

all the cool kids use debian on a thinkpad
F*ck, I'm not a cool kid π
since when is ubuntu hipster ππ
Since the offer for a free personal subscription to Ubuntu Pro when doing apt update. That's the terminal equivalent of going to a microbrewery and seeing they only sell $8 IPAs.
