Does Canonical Ltd. support Linux Mint?

Post by Brahim Salem »

Today I found an advertisement by Canonical of Ubuntu on Linux MINT'S homepage! Does that mean Canonical is cooperating with Mint :D

The Mint team have no input into whose ads are on their page, and Canonical likely hired an ad agency that places the ads, with minimal input as to where those ads specifically go.

Because I don't want to. :D Don't get me wrong, but I don't want Mint to have any connection with Canonical. Maybe what Lingula said is true though.

Old story that has been done to death but always gets trolled up from time to time. All you have to do is watch that ad space to see things change, heck I have even seen Microsoft put up there.

There is a tendency of yours to take pot shots at Canonical/Ubuntu in your posts of late. Not appreciated. Many users are using multiple or other distros, like still helping here on the Linux Mint forums or contributing to Cinnamon while using Ubuntu. So drop the attitude as it's doing harm to our community.

To those that don't what to use an Ubuntu package base for whatever reason, there is LMDE with its Debian package base :wink: Instead of complaining about Canonical/Ubuntu, go make the LMDE subforums here an awesome place! :D
