i think that was something built into unity which you could disable, i don't know if it's still there

>>58586939
Nothing aslong as you aren't using it with unity.

>>58587648
so don't use unity

Nothing. It's just not 1337 enough for /g/ because it actually works out of the box.

Besides unity, I'm trying to run from systemd OS's, even when I can switch from it.
Currently using Slackware cause why not?

>>58587776
how's slackware working out for you? can't blame you for wanting to escape systemd

To be honest, I got stuck in the installation for something trivial for like 4 days.
Then at first it looked so stupid their "package management" system I just decided to configure && make everything, but later found out the right way of installing things and it is pretty comfortable.
Besides all that, it's fun cause I learned alot about how the system manages it's packages and many more details in the slackbook.
Also their community on LinuxQuestions is super nice and helpful (and super active).

>>58587857
sounds pretty good, might just give it a try

it includes a botnet from amazon and it's still there.

does the same apply to lubuntu, xubuntu, etc or is it just a unity thing?

>>58588136
it's a ubuntu thing. xubuntu was botnet free the last time i tried it.

>>58586939
Honestly nothing, it's the most stable desktop linux distro. But due to the fact that it used to be the most popular distro people dismiss it and try to be tough by picking a worse distro instead (mint)

Dubious ethics of the parent company (Canonical)

There's nothing wrong with the distribution.
They seem to be the only one trying to put Linux on people's desks.

You have to keep in mind that /g/ is full of /v/edditors that came here with in waves of faggotgate, celebrity picture leak and drumpf election

Ubuntu LTS is perfect. No idea why fags feels the need to update every 6 months to beta test new shit.

>>58589583

Doesn't this use an ancient kernel with no new hardware support?

>>58589619
LTS gets kernel updates, and stuff like Firefox is kept current. Most of the other stuff changes so little the typical user won't be missing anything. For specific stuff that needs to be the latest, there's PPAs.

>>58586939

It has an African name, so you know its probably no going to work without a lot of whipping.

>>58589619
It does get kernel updates.
If your hardware already works on LTS, then you don't really need new hardware support now do you?

>>58589944
With a generic kernel, you can just stick your old hard drive in a new PC and everything will work :D

>>58589771
>>58589944
So what's the point of LTS? How is it different?

>>58586960
This.

>>58589998
It's supported much longer, so I don't need to waste time with upgrades that often break stuff and require installing again, and some stuff is feature frozen so workflows aren't interrupted. The shorter support timelines aren't as much of an issue if you have your shit together enough to get a fresh install configured with just a few commands.

>>58589816
Linux distros are so buggy that installing a desktop environment guarantees it will be ugly and broken. You might as well reinstall.

Unity.

Back in my day, everyone on /g/ thought arch was for edgy kids who think they're hackers

install kali

I use Debian and have an Ubuntu image for KVM. Both work fine, although Ubuntu does not officially sipport the packages in their 'universe' repo, which is why I don't run it.

I did minimal installs of both of course.

>>58590143
Those packages are officially supported. It's not like the AUR.

The Amazon telemetry was the smartest thing Canonical has ever done with Ubuntu. It could be removed in 2 minutes if you didn't want it, but it successfully labeled Ubuntu as a botnet in the eyes of all the stallman drones thus keeping their presence out of the Ubuntu community forever. And we are all the better for it.

Tip: it was only in the full bloated normie install with Unity. Nobody who really uses the OS for any length of time touches that shit.

>>58590311
Plenty of people in the real world, like Google engineers and that guy on Numberphile my bf thinks is cute, use and enjoy Unity. The Amazon stuff is free software.

>>58590311
It shouldn't even be there in the first place. Period.
No if, ands or buts about it.

>>58586939
It works a hell of a lot better then centos 7 does as a desktop. If I ever need to run/play with redhat based OS's I'll just run them in a VM.

It's a debian fork. And fuck debian.

>>58590508
It also works better as a server if you don't need anything RHEL-specific.

>>58590526
Wow, what an insightful comment :-)

canonical cannot deal with systemd.

>>58590259
I'm pretty sure that means the people maintaining the packages are experienced and trustworthy. That would put it on the same level as Debian. Plus, you can remove the Universal repo if you wanted to.

>>58588097
worked with both and unity is more comfy.

>>58590462
Unity alone is not evidence of using the default installation. It's likely these people installed via the minimal net install.

It's most likely someone else set it up because they have better ways to spend their time, and that's how it's done in organizations.
