  • Not only should we not recommend Linux we should be more “elitist”. If a user wants to use Linux we should provide help but we should not convince. Linux is a fundamentally technical system due to its high skill celling. It will also never be able to do everything Windows does, I may be ok with that (and most Linux users are) but the average person may not. Also why do we need to advertise? More users doesn’t mean anything. The only thing that matters is more programmers who are willing to contribute and maintain along with corporate sponsors.

    TLDR; there is nothing wrong with telling someone to not use Linux if they aren’t already
















  • I’ll address all your points

    1. It’s just GNOME but slightly modified
    2. How? Gnome includes a terminal that technically exists (even if slow)
    3. Just use sudo

    As for the differences

    1. Ubuntu is open source (Android =/= AOSP)
    2. Sudo is enabled
    3. Ubuntu repository
    4. Gnome is a proper desktop (and can even be a traditional desktop with extensions)
    5. Can be heavily modified
    6. Telemetry can be disabled
    7. The most controversial feature (snaps) can be removed
    8. Ubuntu uses the standard Linux kernel
    9. It’s a desktop operating system
    10. It’s not owned by a multi billion dollar ad company
