Delicious, delicious casserole

actionjbone,

Yes but what a delicious way to drown

actionjbone,

They sell it to anyone willing to buy it. So, yes.

actionjbone,

There’s not a good way to find out, no. A lot of the data is “anonymous” when collected, and aggregated before it’s sold. But it’s not hard to de-anonymize the data afterward.

So it’s hard to put together a firm trail that shows data from point A gets to point B.

The best distro? One that he’ll be able to use easily. One that will get him to actually LIKE the experience.

You don’t want to teach him a lesson by giving him a miserable experience.

You want to teach him a lesson that will let you say “I told you so” for the rest of his life.

Manjaro is pretty easy to use and seems to have good hardware compatibility. A variety of Ubuntu flavors also can mimic Windows and work really well.

Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

actionjbone,

You’re not wrong, but there’s also value in exploring different ways to do similar things. That’s what’s great about Linux.

Some of Canonical’s efforts may lead to failure, but that doesn’t mean they are a waste.

actionjbone,

Haha, I get it. No offense taken.

I don’t disagree. But for better or worse, most people don’t think that much about their software.

Folks like us who do? We can make informed decisions.

Folks who don’t? Canonical’s experiments are probably still better than dealing with Windows 11 or macOS.

actionjbone,

Thanks for all this info. It’ll help me catch up, I’ll check out your links.

actionjbone,

I appreciate your response. it’s good to know I’m safe running what I know. And cerement gave me some good info so I can learn more about different distros. :)

actionjbone,

I tried installing LXLE - and in spite of multiple attempts, it simply refuses to install the boot files into the boot partition. 🤣

So I suppose it’s getting a different flavor, after all
