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.

Using Ubuntu may give off hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect. (slrpnk.net)

Edit: got nothing against Ubuntu, it's Linux after all and that's what matters 🌻 Edit2: people took this very seriously for being a shower thought..

Hey man idk why you're being so hostile to people responding to you, but it is the point OP is making. They're saying that ANY Linux distro, including Ubuntu, are seen as 'hipsters' to average PC users, but within the Linux community Ubuntu is very basic AKA not hipster.

Off the top of my head, the easiest analogy is that having your favorite song be Creep by Radiohead might be seen as kinda alternative/hipster to someone who listens to pop music, but to anyone in the indie community or radiohead fans, it's seen as the opposite.
