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)

it's Linux after all and that's what matters

I agree it's a good OS to use, and it is Linux, but there are layers and layers of what's good for the user and the community.

I think there will always be layers of "this could be done better," and "that's in someone's selfish interest rather than for the best of the users and community. Or at least layers of being better for some people and worse for others. Ubuntu has some of those layers - though I'm always grateful for the good they've done the community - and other distros surely have some too.
