I love that the font is consistent. Someone went the extra mile for this meme.
It’s weird, because Linux users aren’t known for being pedantic…
Nope, never…
I think they copy-pasted the individual letters from the other words. Impressive really.

the promised ubuntu, ubutu if it was good even
I have used Ubuntu as the daily driver for the last 10 years, because support and tools are widespread and easy, and I don’t need any extra pain in my life. Drivers are mostly present and working upon a clean install, and in the one case where the touchpad wasn’t recognized, it was super easy to find an ubuntu forum post containing a 1-line command to fix it. But everybody says i should hate it and use Mint instead.
I’m open to give it a go, but in general, will most of the tutorials and fixes you find for Ubuntu also work with Mint?
Mint is Ubuntu-based so yeah, most stuff will work.
But also: The only reason I don’t recommend Ubuntu is because of Snaps and telemetry. If someone decides that they don’t mind, I don’t care. Everyone should just use the distro they like best
I’m new to linux… what is snaps and telemetry…?
Snaps are a more powerful flatpack
Like an .exe on Windows
They are able to do system components
People don’t like them because the server that serves snap is closed source. Since Snaps themselves are open source they could be changed to not use Canonical but then it would be a fork
Telemetry is sending data to the company that makes the OS, normally in Linux this is opt-in but on Ubuntu it is opt-out
The other reason for not liking Snaps is badly implemented sandboxing. Unless they’ve fixed it more recently, the Snap version of a program cannot see your USB stick, your printer, your scanner, ½ of your fonts, your 2nd internal hard drive, your custom plugins etc and it can’t connect to other software also installed on the computer.
There’s (to my knowledge) not currently an easy system to grant access to these things - whereas Flatpak, for instance, has Flatseal, which let’s you alter the permissions of all your Flatpak programs.
Perhaps if they’d launched Snaps with an android-like “would you like to give this program access to…” sort of thing, there’d be less of a problem.
There is of course a chance this has all been fixed since - but I’ve certainly not heard of it happening.
Ahh, that makes sense. Thank you! 😊
thanks so much! 😊
Green Ubuntu for the win!
A yes, Ubisoft Origin and Limewire.
Every time I see “green Ubuntu” I’m remembering me, 25 years ago, with another green Linux, Suse, with 12 cdRoms, trying desperately to install it on my ancient grey brick.
You haven’t installed Linux until you’ve done it in the original Klingon.
Hmm, this Ubuntu tastes kinda minty…
It needs a little cinnamon.
Oh hey I might switch to Mint, Canonical pushing things on me is making me uneasy…
Linux Mint is killing its KDE Edition
(sigh) Never mind.
I mean, you can still install it
Also, wasn’t that like 6 years ago?
Sounds like you need some Cinnamon
Linux Mint hasn’t had a KDE version sind Mint 19. We are on 21.3 Are you a time traveler? Also just try KDE Neon. Has as of now no snap nonsense and it’s better than Kubuntu since the KDE version is up to date.
destroy the forbidden arch
Ubuntu Mate? Surely green Ubuntu is Ubuntu Mate

Most device drivers are built into the kernel.
I will never use Steam OS or steam. Linux is good because its highly flexible and gives freedom to the user. Trying to change that is silly. We can have user friendly distros like Linux mint without compromising on Linux itself.
