Update linux.md #31

Closed igangsta closed 6 years ago

igangsta commented 9 years ago

Debian respects privacy more than Ubuntu does. I would also like to point out that TAILS is a better solution for privacy.

Tails is at the TL;DR on top. (But the design could be better, that is true.)

About debian, I already answered here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9510793

I know that ubuntu is not perfect, but I think that it is a great first step from people coming from windows. We really try to target people that are new to this area. I don't think recommending debian will hep them.

Maybe I'm wrong, I let this issue open to see what other people are thinking.

But thanks for the PR :)

Ubuntu sends all queries typed in Unity to Amazon by default.

pierreozoux commented 9 years ago

yes, I know, but it's easier to use :/

igangsta commented 9 years ago

So sacrifice privacy for ease of use? Why not recommend Mac OSX then?

Complicated and old discussion, but I tend to agree with @igangsta. We can't tell ppl and improove Free Software and telling them to use Ubuntu. There is a need of making a choice between these. It's very complicated, but ubuntu had very much problem with the FSF about privacy, but GPL licensing too. Ubuntu today is not the best distro to move from windows. I'm tester from distro, and elementaryos is way more interesting than Ubuntu about privacy, and GPL compliance.

Debian is way more better, as it's known for its stability.

Debian/Ubuntu-derivated distro are way more interesting for ease of use. For example Linux Mint.

Anyway, I will let the users chose it between 5 distro we could change every year. It's better. :-) I close this for the moment.
