I agree with Reco. FSF: The right kind of nuts.
What kind of software do people want? The kind that puts them on the
drip feed even after they pay the first time? They can have that if
they want. Linux people use Linux because they don't want that. They
are not forbidden to use it, much of it is not in Linux, but the choice
to use it is there in other operating systems.
I've never tried mint because Debian does what I want/need/desire. The
grass is green enough here, I have no need to journey to the fence.
Each of us is different.
