- pluma 10y agoConsidering Windows 10's privacy scandal, the Microsoft response would rather have been "You can limit it by scrubbing the settings or disable it completely by buying the Enterprise version".

Also all of your outbound connection are monitored anyway by various parties too so the whole thing is more or less futile, here try this cloud." ftfy
- type0 10y agoLinux Mint is good but definitely not great, it's biggest flaw that isn't true Ubuntu so you can't rely on base fixes that would work on all Ubuntu flavors. Ubuntu Mate is such an underrated distro, it's faster than GNOME2 base ever was, it's customizable, the only thing what's missing is more advanced menu. GNOME menu should never been included in the first place (too unstable). Wimpy and others on UM forums talked about finding new more modern menu for a long time, I hope we will see some progress there. Synapse launcher on Ubuntu MATE can be unstable sometimes, but at least there are so many alternatives.
