Good morning. It is true. And so what?

we have a right to privacy PERIOD, THAT"S WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why you say this here and me? Every morning after waking up try to repeat this loudly in front of mirror, please. Result will the same.

Good morning. It is true. And so what?

I'm just curious to know the reasons why you think that Linux Mint is better/worse than Windows or Mac? Never ever think that Linux Mint is better/worse than Windows or Mac in common sence. I think is Linux better for me? keyword is "me", not eberybody. After few experiments I decide to stop having...

And we should be afraid for the same reasons. Why we should? 1.Crhromium!=Google Chrome. So Chromium based Edge is not Google. 2. Mozilla itself done everithing possible to lose reputation. 3. Mozilla afraid afraid of losing marketshare (read money) not our freedom, security, e.t.c. Nowdays my brow...

Mozilla's response to the announcement: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2018/12/06/goodbye-edge/

All about why we (Mozilla) is better.
Сorrect reading is: we are very afraid.

Microsoft today confirmed earlier rumors that Edge web browser will be based on Chromium

Firefox is next. I bet.

Don't think this is a linux/win issue. It's the thing that sits between the keyboard and monitor, usually with ten fingers.

What a little animal with ten fingers sitting between keyboard and monitor?

By the way, he is absolutely cybesecured person.

PCLinuxOS is father of user firiendly desktop distros. Long time I use PCLinuxOS Mate. Fast, reliable... What anyone need else?

What is modern design? Just look at mozilla.org for example. 15 pages(!) 1920x1080 of nothing.

Once they start charging fees for the distros, I'm pretty sure the makers of popular software will follow suit.

Yes.

Goodbye FOSS & hello COSS (commercial open-source software).

So, what a single reason to use open source for money if I understand nothing in sources regardless opened or closed?

If such a scenario plays out, ie users will have the "difficult" choice of running Google-Ubuntu or IBM-Red Hat, ie no more M$-Win-10 and Apple-MacOS, I would hope that both Google and IBM will compete and sell their OSes at about US$20 per license, whether Retail or OEM licenses. ....... IOW Googl...

R.I.P., Red Hat.

Cost of OS Win 10 is nothing comparing summ of all another windows software installed in whole company.
Nobody will switch to "IBHEL" because nothing will run on it. Please, don't say seriously "Libre office", GIMP, e.t.c.

I hope IBM will make CentOS or Fedora user-friendly(= fully GUI-based like Windows and MacOS) to the average users, trademark it, sell it for about US$20 per Retail license and offer Volume License discounts(eg at US$10 per OEM license) to the OEMs.

$20 for be sticked to Gnome3?

Well, I would not be surprised if the Canonical will sell themselves to Apple and Debian to Google.

I would be surprised, and if they do that, I will likely start using a Red Hat derivative.

And IBM-PC of course.

Struggling to digest IBM's press release mentioning the word "cloud" 41 times I mean, that does nothing for us desktop Linux users.

Two-three years later the question "what is desktop Linux?" will not seem so stupid. Fedora is first in line.

What the news! Well, I would not be surprised if the Canonical will sell themselves to Apple and Debian to Google.

Uhhhh... I'm not even sure how to respond to this. Should I just kind of laugh instead? Why would you want to own a smartphone in the first place?

Really I have no idea. Next time I'll ask you first.

[*]Half the systems had no more than 4 GiB RAM and was on a single- or dual-core processor. Lot of low-end systems, also if you look as resolutions. Not surprise. I always told that audience of desktop Linux is old thech people with no money for modern hardware or paid OS, or having hardware not su...
