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 wouldn’t say hipster, I’d say nerd. Hipster implies that they think it’s cool

I was a CentOS-man for a number of years. But Linux is for servers and hobby projects in this house. MacOS is my primary driver. Still mad at IBM / Red Hat.

I went to kick the tires on RockyLinux, but then realized I don't have any projects in mind and asked myself why bother. It'll be my first choice when the time is right again.
