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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I don't understand why anybody would complain about that. It's like complaining that too many people wear jeans.

Because any post can be turned into a Linux post here.

Much like how Linux can be run on anything!

Unless its something that can't be done in a browser! Then whip out the Linux bible and download wine and virtualbox because you're using windows baby!

I honestly cannot tell you the last time I ran windows to do anything. Like I'll have to do some tinkering on the steam deck soon for the first time in a long time to get the sims playing for my SO, but that is still way easier then maintaining another whole OS, especially like windows where they hit my fam with UX updates that piss them off.

How else are you going to play FreeDoom if you can't get Linux to run on it?
