More hardware features work in Ubuntu by the way.

[thisweekinlinux]

@da006 should be just the same, except that Ubuntu has a newer version available that has a newer kernel. Once Mint 11 comes out, they should be just the same in terms of hardware support.

I couldn't get it to work on my laptop. Then I got kicked off of their community because I responded to a douche-bag that was being a total A-hole. UNINSTALL!!!

[thisweekinlinux]

@da006 sorry to hear that. :/ I've noticed quite a few communities have a few individuals that can be abrasive and quick to judge.

I definitely do not like, that it is just installing without prompting for password. This will be even MORE insecure than Windows... Windows at least show a popup...

You can install something random from a web site as an Admin? And no password? Nope for me. This is the wrong direction. No, no, and no.

[thisweekinlinux]

@MsPwain This is not a program, this is an operating system. Doesn't matter what the OS is, it generally installs without a password, because it runs before the OS itself does. If you want to protect your system in that way, you'd have to set up a BIOS/Boot time password, so that you have to type it in before you boot the system, and set your BIOS so that it doesn't boot from CD/USB.

this is defiantly my favorite mint distro, in fact this works flawlessly on my msi wind u100, 2gig ram, the last distro did not run too well with extra effects enabled, on v10 its on full effects and still runs very snappy, defo better than win 7, even the win 7 starter is slower, thumbs up from me, also the new search feature is awesome. very usable os on a little netbook

[DillPo313]

Ubuntu does not work with my screen and wifi on my laptop but I installed mint 10 and EVERYTHING works out of the box. GO MINT!

in your other video you mentioned how terminal is hardly ever used. while I do agree, we need to get to the point where the terminal is only used in cases where you want to use it (I.E. windows) because if you have an issue and looks on forms, almost all the fixes require opening the terminal and entering a command. I also think linux needs a universal installer extention such as windows (.exe or .msi for windows) it's just my personal opinon

[SeriousGamer753]

THANK YOU FUCKING MUCH :DDDD
