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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Coming on Lemmy and complaining in ShowerThoughts that there are too many Lemmy users complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers

If every prostitute approached you and had to tell you how much better she is at something than your current SO/wife, you should ditch your SO in favor of prostitutes, even though you’re not there for service.

Then it would be like Lemmy.

Can I complain there are not enough Linux users?

[–] DerArzt@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Yes that was always allowed

It's contagious. I caught the Linux over the weekend. It's the Kubuntu strain of the disease, so I think it's a mild case. But there's always a risk it can spread to full-blown Arch.

More like a bar with too many drunk people. It is understandable that they are there and its also expected that there are sober people there but it gets annoying when the drunk people keep spilling alcohol on you. Tho i dont its it that bad.

Yeah, I agree Linux is actually just a really solid OS

I don't care how many people use it, but it seems to pop up (unwarranted) in darned near every sub I'm in. Enjoying something is fine, but it's best to not let any single thing become your identity or define you as a person.

That's me but with US politics, I blocked a few communities and moved on.

I'd never used Linux before getting a Steam Deck. It's now my preferred PC. But it's also super-duper polished and painless.

Lemmy users are hookers confirmed

Do people REALLY complain about Linux? There are nutters everywhere but I don't think this is really a thing.

I disagree because I’d still be having a good time at the brothel.

I came hoping the hotties would be free, and to download a car.

I caught this ubuntu server thing on my laptop, I haven't really bothered fixing it because it's been really handy
