- kintamanimatt 13y agoLast time I tried, Cinnamon proved to be exceptionally buggy when running on stock Ubuntu. Also, Mint's default aesthetic is better IMO!
- cgag 13y agoDoesn't Ubuntu insert amazon affiliate links into your search results while Mint doesn't, or was that removed? Or does Mint just do it as well?
- kintamanimatt 13y agoMint doesn't do that. However, the affiliate advertising package is easy to remove from stock Ubuntu..
- SEMW 13y agoThat is and has always been a unity feature (or 'feature') - unity-lens-shopping. It's not even installed if you don't install unity, e.g. if you use xubuntu, kubuntu, lubuntu, etc.
- cgag 13y agoSure, but it's enough to make me avoid Ubuntu all together on principle.
