Small correction.

With Telegram your data ends up in Germany.

They are Berlin based and against the current Russian government AFAIK.

I'm an happy GNOME3/Wayland user, with a few extensions GNOME3 is very good.

- FLAVOR: [Ubuntu Desktop]

- HEADLINE: Join Wayland

- DESCRIPTION: Instead of reinventing the wheel with Unity8/Mir, please join Wayland development and maybe join forces with Linux Mint and switch from Unity to Cinnamon or MATE, with Flatpak supports for desktop apps.

Wait, so you are telling me a not-even-in-beta software is not secure?

That's a very important news!

It was said already in the past, and I agree.

Naming.

Too many letters in a *BSD, too scary. Linux is more toy-ish and thus more appealing as a name.

Plus the UCL vs BSD legal war, which shifted much of the community towards Linux.

Just a note:

> The deployed site is hosted on Heroku. It's part of GitHub's meta-account, and they pay the bills.

So why aren't they just using a GitHub page for this?

Because it's a Spanish company.

Wheezy was my last one as well.

I fully migrated my personal laptop to FreeBSD (as TrueOS) a few weeks ago, after using it as my second OS at home.

And because I need Linux for work, I migrated to Devuan on my workstation, as I need to use Ansible and Docker in a stable way as part of my DevOps job.

What would you suggest then?

In my experience, only Thinkpads and Latitudes have provided me satisfying user experiences.

Except XPS 13 and Macbook Pros, which I tried and I don't like the feeling.

I bought a T420s a few months ago.

I am selling my much newer MacBook Pro retina now, as the Thinkpad is so much more functional, the keyboard is amazing the feeling of the machine itself is fantastic.

I am thinking to buy a X260 brand new because I need a newer CPU and better battery life, but for sure I'll only buy Thinkpads or Latitudes (I have one at work, amazing machine) from now on.

I'm in Europe and even some non-tech know what a Linux Mint is. And a lot of newbies I help to install Linux on their laptops explicitly ask for it as well. Many are lost with Ubuntu/Unity interface and are much more happy with Cinnamon on Mint.
