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.

I wouldn't describe Microsoft as a walled garden (and Canonical even less). But maybe that term comes with degrees, and different perspectives of what's tolerable.

Windows is less of a "walled garden", and more like a shared garden where the other gardener is really inconsiderate and will mess up your part of the garden whenever it doesn't align with their vision.
