minus-squaregeneva_convenience@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoI am talking about an official Linux OS since Ubuntu is “not Linux”.
minus-squareFooBarrington@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month 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-up0·1 month 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-up0·1 month agoYep, adding a non-Ubuntu-distribution makes it a great recommendation.
minus-squareFooBarrington@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 month agoSorry, I meant any distributions that aren’t Ubuntu. I don’t mind Mint, even if it’s based on Ubuntu!
