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
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) 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

Lol... I was a religious Arch user for a long time. I miss running Linux as my primary OS in s lot of ways, although when I do it again it'll be an ephemeral distro, but I had to get things done and the support and prioritization of apps that make me productive right isn't there. I don't blame open source developers though but large software companies that deprioritize and fudge cross platform software.
Despite Microsoft having done some contribution to open source, their culture is still very toxic and counterproductive. Graphics card makers have also intentionally locked vGPU support for consumers, almost like they're intentionally preventing efficient Windows on Linux support.
