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
- 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)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

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.

like, how many Star Trek communities do you need, right?
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.
I have always liked Windows, but I'm always two versions behind and have never actually experienced any other OS. I'm open to Linux, but it also scares the shit out of me because I'll essentially go back to knowing fuck all about the OS on my PC.
And I've also heard gaming can be complicated on Linux, whether or not that's true.
Most games are ok, big online games are usually not (anything that has kernel level anti cheat, straight up bans Linux, or uses a third party launcher that doesn't have much support on Linux). Usually can be overcome, but can result in a ban. For those games, you can either dual boot or virtualize Windows (which also can get u banned).
Tons of games have Proton support (check ProtonDB). If you select a stable distro and don't install custom stuff, you should be good without knowing much besides hitting Update all button from time to time and pasting any error message you get into your preferred search engine. Hell you can install SteamOS and be eternally happy.

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

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
How so? I don't see the analogy.
