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

How is macOS hipster? Apple products are so damn popular.

Apple's core ethos is "be hip and trendy." They make electronics to be seen with, style before substance. That's 200% hipster shit.

Hmm idk man, anything that has ads playing everywhere 24/7 is not hipster, hipster is unknown, but stylish etc. Hipster is more trendsetter and macOS is not a trendsetter, it’s just a trend at this point. Anything pop by definition is not hipster.

To give a pithy example: macOS is to tech hipsters what hot topic is to goth hipsters

You're giving hipsters way more credit for originality than they have earned.
