Ubuntu is very usable for a desktop OS.
- petre 3y agoExcept they too pushed ads (ubuntu advantage) and snap and other annoying stuff.
- diffeomorphism 3y agoWindows: ads in the start menu, candy crush, hey you are trying to install chrome and I don't like that. Ubuntu: one line message in the terminal about we released <new thing> thing, feel free to try it. Yeah, basically the same thing.
- c0nducktr 3y agoIt's the same thing, just one company has taken it further. I realize this is a slippery slope argument, but when there are countless examples of how this slopes is slippery, I think it's a valid point of contention.
- l33t7332273 3y agoI think it’s a very different thing. The slope doesn’t seem particularly slippery. Choosing to be anti-user in your marketing seems like a form line.
- DirkH 3y agoIt's not the same thing for the same reason that a shiny billboard for an ad right outside your bedroom window that you can't not see every time you look outside is not the same as a text ad on the first page of a book you want to read. A text ad on the first page of a book is not a slippery slope to a billboard right outside your window. I use a Linux terminal everyday. I completely forgot it has any ads at all until reading this thread. I have to put conscious effort to find where the ad is. It would be impossible for a daily Windows user to forget their OS has ads. My 2 cents at any rate
- l33t7332273 3y agoI’ve never noticed, which means their “pushing” is at a totally acceptable level.
- mackrevinack 3y agopersonally i would recommend zorin os before ubuntu since it has a similar desktop layout to windows or if someone doesnt care about that then pop os is decent as well
- biogene 3y agoYes, I'm sure it is. But for me, so is Windows and OSX.
