So, that’s my reply to Chris Titus Tech’s listing. I mostly agreed but still, made my own.

    Ubuntu and Mint are the same thing.

        It includes cinnamon which is mints in house DE, but all DEs can be installed on any distro. Mint is just Ubuntu with extra proprietary stuff. My point was that it’s weird to have them in separate arbitrary categories. Labeling Ubuntu as “Devil” and Mint as “Amazing” is odd when you realize they are the same.

          Mint has extra proprietary stuff? I’m gonna need a source on that one. Mint is the distro Ubuntu wants to be.

            It doesn’t seem like it differs that much from Ubuntu anymore in that regard tho.

          @borlax
          I think all the software added to Mint is open source but I can be wrong

            I thought they packaged some proprietary media codecs and drivers to make it more user friendly out of the box. I could also be mistaken about the status of those items.

              Mint does have proprietary codecs and drivers . He is talking about their applications

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
