   Going to try getting this wireless card working in Windows *again*. I've been spoilt by Linux's "Just Works" policy. !u

     !ubuntu is not !linux

     @jbeatty !ubuntu IS #linux ... it is far more productive to put aside petty bickering and *help* promote !fsw

     @jbeatty huh? Ubuntu is just as much Linux as Debian or Fedora is. GNOME != Linux

     @jbeatty And neither are Debian, Fedora, PCLinuxOS, openSuSe, and many others I forgot. They're all Linux distributions.

     @jbeatty The fact that they aren't Linux doesn't make @marcusharrison's point about hardware "just work"ing in Linux any less valid.

     The problem is all the people who think that !ubuntu encompasses the entirety of what happens in the !linux ecosystem

     @laurelrusswurm !ubuntu doesn't promote !fs, it doesn't even ship with kernel-libre. What a joke.

     @douglasawh I'm protesting the dropin replacement of "Linux" for "Ubuntu".

     @mmuman @jbeatty Which doesn't change the fact that !Ubuntu *is* a #Linux distro. My hair doesn't stop being brown if I don't tell you it is

     @jbeatty If that is a problem, change it. Arguing semantics simply frightens away mere mortals who *might* switch to !fsw

     @laurelrusswurm I'm sorry, but I don't want the kind of technology hipsters !ubuntu attracts; they do nothing but Apple-ize the ecosystem

     @jbeatty "Appleizing"? Maybe… But if the code is !libre (free), this may be not as bad than what Apple did. (& we always can change GUI)

     @bigou amusing that you bring up "libre" about a distro that doesn't even use kernel-libre and tries to walled-garden its development ;)

     @jbeatty I love fs as well but what !ubuntu has done for !linux in few years, all the fs advocates couldn't do since '91. Use what suits u..

     @jbeatty A couple of years ago I hadn't even heard of Linux. Today I type this using my !Trisquel OS via !Ubuntu

     @jbeatty cosidering that !ubuntu is one of the most used and well known !Linux OSs around, thats a *lot* of "technology hipsters".

     @jbeatty We all have our way of doing things, and you shouldn't be upset if !ubuntu has it's own. Isn't that the whole point of foss??

   • Rajit Vikram Singh Ubuntu users , Jonathan Beatty

     @jbeatty and at any cost, it's not hampering other development in the foss world. If you don't like !ubuntu, use something else. Simple :)

     @rajitsingh It would be interesting to see you actually back that up with some facts. Just sounds like a Shuttleworth sound bite to me.

     @gomerx Here in India, the situation a few years back was that *very* few had even heard of linux, let alone know what it actually is...
