RE: Linux Mint Installation Tutorial - Full Install in 10 Minutes!
Right on - I've got two Mint installations, and only have a Windows install for certain compatibility tasks. MS Windows is by any reasonable standard, not a viable OS. It's Spam/worse even - Spyware - and I hate it with a passion.
How can such a flawed, slow, unstable thing, calling itself OS, be used by so many? People have indeed been conditioned to think that all Linux is for geeks, when in fact, the installing and running of it is smooth - and it's free. As is the often superior software - from Office applications to 3D modeling all the way to CAD and chat - for free - and much more secure than any mainstream OS.
Now, I do use a MAC for most daily tasks, but there are alternatives - beautiful, Windows like Linux installs, that get the job done cheaper, faster, and without the headache and privacy violations.
Resteemed.
Yeah if people just like the Windows GUI, then there are custom skins for that for Linux Mint. There is a complete Win 10 skin for the Cinnamon Desktop that will make all buttons and icons like like just in Win 10.
Otherwise Linux is superior in any way:
.... etc
The problem is that Linux doesn't market itself, you see Windows everywhere, every fucking manufacturer promotes it, I even see Win 10 ads on my local TV channel, it's disgusting , especially with the built-in spyware that Win 10 has and the admitted keylogger that they built in there.
People didn't even heard of Linux, while it's so much superior, even fucking schools have Win 10. And they indoctrinate kids to use Windows from the beginning not showing them any other alternative.
They are morons wasting tax payer money on shitty licenses when they could jus get Linux for free. Fucking corrupt governments intermingling with a horrible corporation.
Speaking directly from my heart... Thank you! Couldn't have said it any better.
I think it's up to us, as you did with this excellent post, to promote wherever we can.
Stigma against Linux is high though. Thing is, it runs much faster than windows on old laptops... I love it.
Oh, and the only windows version I really liked, 3.1 🤣 I used the DOS command prompt to clean house...
It went downhill from there.
