- facorreia 9y agoTheir website was hacked once... I'm a happy Linux Mint user. I've used every major OS in the last 30 years, and that's the one I like the most. There will be a new release soon based on Ubuntu 18.04.

- jcastro 9y agoThey turn off kernel security updates by default.
- TekMol 9y agoWell, I told you why I don't use Ubuntu. Debian... The initial reason I switched from Debian to Ubuntu was that Ubuntu included non-free drivers out of the box. Up to Debian 8, I tried it on the desktop on every major release. And every time my wifi did not work out of the box. So I would have to get a cable to finish the installation or make some extra medium with the non-free drivers. And then I'm "Nahh... I'll stick with a distro that has the non-free drivers included right away". I have not tried Debian 9 yet.
