minus-square@slacktoid@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish-1•3 months agoTrue but also don’t conflate Ubuntu with Linux
minus-square@FooBarrington@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink6•3 months 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-square@slacktoid@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish2•3 months agoMaybe it’s wrong of us to recommend Linux, maybe we should be recommending a specific distro. Mint comes to mind.
minus-square@FooBarrington@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•3 months agoYep, adding a non-Ubuntu-distribution makes it a great recommendation.
minus-square@FooBarrington@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•edit-23 months agoSorry, I meant any distributions that aren’t Ubuntu. I don’t mind Mint, even if it’s based on Ubuntu!

minus-square@slacktoid@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish2•3 months agoThere are a lot of them out there dude. It’s a world out there

minus-square@slacktoid@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish1•3 months agoI didn’t say Ubuntu is not Linux, I said Ubuntu is not the only Linux.
