What should I do now? Is Ubuntu just a shithole that I should abandon? I thought I was feeling safe with Ubuntu, I feel betrayed
>>
>>53614205
Yeah. They included a bunch of Amazon search shit in their desktop environment. Nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be, and it's really easy to get rid of, but at the same time, if you are gonna use Linux might as well use something less scummy.
>>
>>53614265
jesus you're easily influenced

>>53614265
Use something endorsed by the GNU project, 100% free as in freedom:
https://gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html
I recommend Trisquel.
>>
>>53614265
Well you could usw another distro which doesnt violate youtr freedumps
>>
>>53614265
It's pretty easy to fix. https://fixubuntu.com/ or get something like Xubuntu and you don't have to use Unity which is disgusting.

Really, Ubuntu is a pretty solid distro(sans Unity), and no matter how much people will meme you should never feel bad for using it. Linux isn't about using what everyone else says you should use. It should be about what you want and making a system that fits your needs, not the /g/ hivemind.
>>
>>53614062
Switch to Debian and use Vivaldi.
>>
Ubuntu x unity had spyware at one point but overall I've found it a good compromise between reliability and performance if you're smart about it. straight up Debian unstable is better and respects you more, and canonical sucks, but Ubuntu is not as garbage as people say. Just gotta think about what you install, which may be ridiculous to ask for some people.

>>53614062
Well, obviously try Firefox, but honestly it disrespects you about as much as chromium nowadays. Like yeah, chromium downloads binaries and that's pretty bad, but the stuff they're trying to add to standard firecuck... Seamonkey's okay. Firefox developer edition is worth a shot too.
>>
>>53614374
What about palememe?
>>
>>53614368
Why would you switch to Linux and use a botnet browser? That makes no sense. If you don't care just stay on Windows and get the extra software support.

I-I just want to fit in, plus they aren't wrong. Ubuntu is using spyware with the Amazon thing. So how do I fix this though? I want to be completely free

>>53614295
But is it easy to use?

>>53614356
Oh good then! Thank you

>>53614265
Use whatever the fuck you like and holy shit run away as far as you can from /g/. If you don't, you're in for a wild depressing ride of distro hopping and problems

Unity is fine if you like it
Ubuntu is fine if you like it

Unity has amazon search results that are easily removed, but you're a retarded shit poster who already knew that
>>
>>53614406
It should be pretty easy, its not like Archtism, that takes some time to install, and your experience won't be like tripfags on desktop threads.
>>
>>53614394
Palememe is pretty much dead, and has pretty sub par support for extentions.

>>53614406
If you want a completely free system then Ubuntu is not a good choice. As I said, you could choose what you want and not what anyone tells you, but if that is your goal then something like Debian is probably more your style, even if it takes a lot more effort to learn compared to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu is sort of the poster child for "we don't care about free software as much as we care about making a system anyone can use".

Shut up, I just want to be FREE, I had no idea that Ubuntu had this amazon search thing that sent out MY info to third party fuckers.

Now I'm more paranoid than I already am, I don't want NSA or FBI looking through my searches of loli onahole buys and think "He's a pedo, let's lock him up!" then I'm in a jail cell with a black bull who rams my white ass each night! No thank you, damnit

Wait I never knew about this amazon search shit, I'm a bit worried now, especially since this is my Lewdpad, I got Ubuntu, if I take off the amazon search thing, would that be enough or should I switch OS?

I hope I don't because...I got a lot of good porn on this shit, man.
>>
>>53614586
How much is canonical paying you?

lol jk. Still pretty embarrassing to see a linux distro with fucking spyware pre-installed. People must think linux is a joke now especially after also hearing about the mint distro that got infected with malware.
>>
>>53614719
Take off the Amazon search. It's literally just what you type into the search bar.

Install another DE if it is a problem.
>>
>>53614539
i normally think stallman just blabbers like a complete idiot but here i really agree with him
>>
>>53614727
Mint website got hacked and the download page was redirected to a .iso that was infected so it's not really the same thing

Simple, just use WPA2-PSK Wi-Fi security, full AES(Twofish(Serpent)) Hard disk encryption, Purge(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ePBNGmxVK8) function ready to be called 24/7, icecat, or other free browser with the add-ons icecat comes with, 4Chan pass (to avoid training the Google bot), a fully free GNU/Linux distribution, I recommend Trisquel, 35 pass wiping environment variable, Tor Browser for browsing The Onion Network, DO NOT USE TOR TO ACCESS ANYTHING ELSE. Yeah, I can't remember anything else, and if You didn't compile all of the above from source, You failed.

So do I, I have tons of JAV, 2D loli, momcon and other lewd fetishes. But what I'm more concerned about is whether Ubuntu had spyware on my webcam? Sometimes I would get really lewd and just crossdress while I fucked myself and record it. Those were my private files and now I'm super paranoid that Unbuntu sold those recordings too.

Am I thinking too much though? I just want to be FREE, /g/. FREEE

>TFW i use Ubuntu 14.04

use ClamAV if you know what you are doing I guess

anon your fine as long as you remove all amazon applications and backup mngr that comes preinstalled then run ClamAV or ClamTk then you should be good.

No, you shut up you shitposting tripplenigger faggotron3000 anime grrl.

You don't really care about freedom. Or you're baiting. Let's assume you're legitimately this retarded.

Posting on 4chan is the first sign of you not truly caring about freedom. The backend of this site is proprietary, you have NO idea what's going on with your posts.

And importantly to your case, the /int/ hack leaks from last year show that all text posts on 4chan are logged and tied back to a personal permanent identity here for individuals.

You can't post here from Tor. You can't post here from a proxy. If you post something the janitors don't like, you're not up for long. You're clearly not paranoid enough to be here still.

Law enforcement also have worked with this site in catching criminals and suspicious people in the past. 4chan sucks the FBI and NSA's rock hard PRISM.
