  • I think this is a strawman not connected with reality.

    I myself promote non violent protests, since they allow everyone to show their dissatisfaction, that includes seniors, parents, disabled, veterans etc. who would normally not attend them if it was about burning shit up.

    I don’t criticize anyone who take action like the ICE protests, and I know those people put their neck on the line and I respect that.

    Actually from videos that I see even those protests are peaceful and likely agitators are placed to stir shit up, sometimes they don’t even bother with that and police just attacks them for no reason.







  • Ubuntu was created as supposedly the first Linux “made for people” of course there were other version of Linux trying to do that but Ubuntu also had funding, including for advertising (it was created by a billionaire Mark Shuttleworth) which helped.

    Mint took Ubuntu and shaped it further to be even simpler.

    I think Ubuntu tried to replicate UI of MacOS while Mint tried to look more like Windows.

    I personally did not use Mint, but from the comments you can see that it has a significant following.

    I used Ubuntu for some time, but stopped over decade ago as I got very frustrated that they frequently introduced instability (note that since Mint is based on Ubuntu it is not completely immune to that), though I hope that things improved and now Ubuntu is more stable.
