minus-squareslacktoid@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·2 years agoTrue but also don’t conflate Ubuntu with Linux
minus-squareFooBarrington@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·2 years agoSure, but it also means we shouldn’t blindly recommend Linux and let users run into the arms of another Microsoft. Recommend good distributions.
minus-squareslacktoid@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoMaybe it’s wrong of us to recommend Linux, maybe we should be recommending a specific distro. Mint comes to mind.

minus-squareFooBarrington@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoSorry, I meant any distributions that aren’t Ubuntu. I don’t mind Mint, even if it’s based on Ubuntu!

Elaborate?
