Especially seeing how many bad decisions Canonical is making today. And what I learned since then is that there are distributions which are much nicer and still respect community and free software values. Too bed the press is ignoring other distributions and awesome software like KDE desktop and software despite coming out as a winner in almost every survey I have seen. So yeah I think it would be great if journalists wrote more about non-Ubuntu distros and KDE in particular so that more people would know about it.Sanjinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447608397823343035.post-81544969954192169692013-03-22T20:19:06.517-04:002013-03-22T20:19:06.517-04:00I did see that the survey was mentioned in the Cul...I did see that the survey was mentioned in the Cult of Mac group. After seeing that I expected more Mac users to come and vote but apparently they did not. The person who posted the link did note it was a Linux based site and, I think, was polite about it and did not work to "stuff" the ballots. Still, if Mac users were the "Cult" they are accused of being you would have seen dozens if not hundreds of votes for OS X.Michael Glassernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447608397823343035.post-83791680360745489382013-03-22T15:00:55.763-04:002013-03-22T15:00:55.763-04:00KDE release 4.10.1 & regular openSUSE 12.3 on ...KDE release 4.10.1 & regular openSUSE 12.3 on a netbook with 2G of RAM.
