I’m so confused! Linux the versus Ubuntu vs mint. Someone please clarify!

They are very similar. Mint is actually based on Ubuntu but made to be a little more user friendly. Either way you won't go wrong and it is easy to change if you ever want to.

Linux has multiple distributions.

What is a distribution?
Think version...
Windows home
Windows pro
Windows Enterprise
Etc

However it's not really that simple.
Each distribution of Linux is tailored to fit or meet a specific set of needs or functions. There are distributions of Linux for students, for entrepreneurs, for developers, for web design, for simple home users, for audio production, for photo design, the list goes on.

Distrowatch is a common website that most people should visit first when trying to choose what distribution of Linux they may think fits their needs. The website will give you a lot of information possibly more than you want and it will also provide user reviews of others possibly in your same situation looking for something to start off with or that is easy to use.

Most newcomers are going to start with Ubuntu or Linux Mint. Of all the distributions Ubuntu has the most fame because of its development base. It's been developed for a long time and marketed more so than any other distribution out there. The Ubuntu phone was the first phone with a Linux operating system to my knowledge.

Can people who don't know much about computers do this? I want to be free of the cabal.

On the pine phone...I hear it's 'rough' compared to other smart phones...exactly what does that mean? Feature rough?

What is the best phone to not be spied on by big tech? One that is healthier, with less radiation, and healthier for the mind with less fake news narratives being pushed into our screens?

Friends, the very smart and helpful admins in our Technology chat room are here to help you, to educate you, about your laptops, your computers, your mobile devices. In a very short time, we created the biggest community of American Patriots who want to unplug from "big tech," here on Telegram. We did that together. We're looking at the engagement numbers here and seeing that our message is starting to be well understood.

Thank you everyone for your optimism over the past few weeks while we explained what our new online community, and this Telegram channel are all about. We have a lot to learn together, and you will like it. We will be showing you a lot of places and resources you may not have known about, that will help you on your journey away from the "big tech" overlords. And with the FREE (90%) and low-priced, affordable lessons (10%) we will offer here, I look forward to helping many of my fellow Americans on their paths to Digital Freedom.

It is uplifting to see all of the kind help between friends in our Technology chat room because everyone has so many questions about their devices and computers, and people really do want to be freed from these big companies that are spying on us and abusing us in ways we didn't even know. Friends, if you're not in there yet, you can get in our Technology chat room on Telegram by clicking here --> @jptchat 🇺🇸

(Disclaimer: Our chat room is very popular, it is a lot to follow. It is for people who want to learn by assimilation, by following what everyone else is talking about.) You don't have to read everything. Just glance at it from time to time, you will start to learn new things that will help you take back your Digital Freedom, faster than you ever imagined!

Goodbye Windows 10, Hello Linux Mint. I'm sold. Done. Moving on with life. :)

Mine is mounted, checked and ready to install. Waiting for the time to do it. Congratulations on dumping windows.

What has everyone decided on Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Suse?

We did it, Friends! Yesterday, hundreds of you responded to our call to organize a simple, affordable formal study group where we will learn about Linux for Beginners. ALL VIRTUAL SEATS WERE FILLED YESTERDAY, REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.

When this channel was started, we told you many times, we would be offering 90% FREE content, newsletters, a blog, and more, and 10% of our offers would be for low-priced, affordable courses on the topics where Patriots were requesting formal study. We also pointed you towards other places where you can study, such as Udemy, a great site for finding low-priced, affordable classes about Linux. Our courses are not the only ones you can find, but you will benefit from following along with everyone here who enrolled. Our first class is now full, our goal is to get started Thursday of this week.

You can make either Mint or Ubuntu look like Mac

I left Facebook back in November 2020. It took awhile to download all of my photos and videos, considering I had 13+ years of history there...but I got it done and never looked back. Leaving Facebook was one of the best things I've done!

Same! Knowing Zuckerberg paid $400,000,000 to help steal the election made me nauseous.
