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)

I'm done with Ubuntu, after it had glaringly obvious bugs in 4 seperate releases right after booting the default install.
I'm talking, system starts and the first thing you see is a crash message. Or the DE locking up. Or the software center throwing an error when you try to install a program. Or Firefox telling you it can't restore your tabs, when you just started it for the first time. etc.
Debian used to be more of a hassle to set up, but nowadays I think it's one of the highest quality distros available. It really just works.
Arch is also very good, and never broke on me in a decade, but what it does do is change stuff on you constantly, and I'm getting too old for that.
