Trying out Mint 18

[Ringel05]

Muahaha, Ubuntu seems to be big bad spyware:


"For the following reasons don't install or recommend Ubuntu.

1. Development of Ubuntu is led by Canonical, Ltd. a UK-based "trading" company which generates revenue through the sale of "technical support" and "services."

2. By installing users agree to allow Ubuntu's parent company Canonical to collect user search data and IP addresses and to disclose this information to third parties including Facebook, Twitter, BBC and Amazon.

3. The adwares and spywares introduced in Ubuntu violates user's privacy and is one of the rare occasions in which a free software developer persists in keeping a malicious feature in its version of a program.

4. Whenever user searches the local files for a string using Ubuntu desktop, Ubuntu sends that string to one of Canonical's servers.

5. Ubuntu has received widespread objection from the open source community for violating free system distribution guidelines.

6. Canonical disgruntled upstream open source developers by introducing Mir, their own display server not derived from X11 or Wayland.

7. Ubuntu's policy prohibits commercial redistribution of exact copies of Ubuntu, denying the baseline freedom.

8. Ubuntu is basically Debian with extra "cool" look and is not binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS which are used for most scientific development."

Do not use Ubuntu !!!

Any excuse to bash Linux eh? Figures......

Oh and unlike Microsoft Canonical listened to it's users........

Ubuntu 'Spyware' Will Be Disabled In Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

 

[Ringel05]

As for this intentional smoke and mirrors generalization;

7. Ubuntu's policy prohibits commercial redistribution of exact copies of Ubuntu, denying the baseline freedom.

It's related to the proprietary software available via Ubuntu. Nice negative propaganda attempt though.

 

[Ringel05]

Red Hat enterprise is part of the F.O.S.S purist movement and typically has nothing nice to say about Ubuntu or Mint. Such is life.

 

[Iceweasel]

8. Ubuntu is basically Debian with extra "cool" look and is not binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS which are used for most scientific development."

So?

Ubuntu is based on Debian, which I used for a year or so (hint hint "Iceweasel", Debian's rebrand of Firefox) and Mint is based on Ubuntu. The main difference for me is that Debian being very stable and making that their main focus is very slow to incorporate updated programs. You are almost always using a program a generation ago.

I'm on Kubuntu at the moment, it is Ubuntu but running KDE with the Plasma desktop. It's very configurable, maybe too much so but none of that depends on Redhat compatibility, which is commercial. If that's what you want for free you can run Fedora.

Just because he works for Russia's disinformation/propaganda agency he thinks he's actually good at it and can apply it everywhere........

I don´t made up these points and if Ringel wants to blame them, he can go to the Linux forum and talk to the respective poster. But I think it should be mentioned that Ubuntu has several disadvantages and seemingly was the templet for Windows 10. I mean, Ubuntu is even worse.
Thanks for the advice though but when I install Linux it will be Korora. You might take a look at their website and find out you are not bound to one of the desktops.

Oh wow! You found a Linux OS you like. Now you can go play with Linus Torvalds and bemoan the user friendly distros (with proprietary software) that don't fit your ideal......

And who am I blaming?

Not interested in Korona and have switched enough desktops to know the possibility actually exists. I have no idea what you think you are accomplishing.

"Korora sets the default applications to those that we believe end users typically want. For example, Firefox is the default web browser (instead of Epiphany in GNOME, for example) and VLC is the default media player (instead of Totem in GNOME, for example). There is generally one popular program installed for each task, although alternatives (such as the Google Chrome web browser) are available via the package manager for a quick install."

This is what I want and I get it here instead of spyware.

That deflection doesn't even fly. How about countering uninformed bull shit from you......? That would be closer to the truth.

The only one comparable to Korora is Ubuntu Ultimate. See how large the Korora images are?
