mm trying to decide if I wanna, like

move from Linux Mint to Ubuntu before I get too dug in. I like how Mint does things but Ubuntu seems like it's a bit more supported, especially going forward with Steam

Switching it would literally take like. a couple hours, maybe. That's part of the magic of a Linux based OS, it's all so lightweight and fast

I just read about all the amazon shit stock ubuntu bundles with your install and nevermind, Mint is fine, haha

I know you can remove it, but that's not the point

I think I'll just look for themes to spruce Mint up a bit and make it feel more designer

@ShugoWah I'd recommend a distro based on ubuntu rather than ubuntu itself. I've been rocking lubuntu the past couple days and liking it

should be just as well supported as ubuntu proper but without Canonical's bullshit

@ShugoWah TO BE HONEST Mint is basically a "fixed" version of Ubuntu. Unless you specifically prefer the default Ubuntu desktop then I don't recommend

@KommaXL @ShugoWah does it still? I thought that Amazon search BS lasted like 2 months and got nothing but negative feedback

@sugar @ShugoWah You are correct but "2 months" is more like "4 years". theregister.co.uk/2016/01/18/u

I think the latest versions still have a launcher of sorts for amazon which just pulls up the web page in the default browser when you select it
