From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Clearly you should be able to choose between an install without anything on it, an install with just a few apps and an install with all basic apps.
That would be perfect. We shouldn’t forget that a lot of beginners are using Linux for the first time with Ubuntu and you shouldn’t ask too much of them otherwise they’ll just go back to windows/apple.
Yeah. It's painfully obvious a lot of people in this thread aren't grounded in reality.
They should really interact with normal computer users to see how much they don't care about configuring every little bit of their system.
It's projection, through and through. I only wish more people in this community could realize it for what it is.
