For some reason self-proclaimed tech experts think Linux distros are a HUGE deal. Omg, you use Endeavour you must be a tranny! Fuck off. It is just a distro.
What bothers me even more is people that either critique and/or praise Linux Mint for what it stands for. Let me please explain this to you, Timmy boy. It has come to my attention that people praise Linux Mint for the fact 'it just works'. What distro does not work? I do not understand. I have used Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro and Qubes in the last year alone and I can tell you know that as soon as that installation finished I could fucking use the fucking laptop. Note that most of them were for work. I consider most of these distros as spyware just because of the company backing. Are these people retarded? Do they install the Chinese language versions of the OSes? Retards.
What bothers me even more is people who critique it because it is bloated. Although I do agree that there are packages you can/should remove (in fact, I removed almost all default software that it comes installed with on a thinkpad at work) I would not consider it bloated. The ISO is not that big (like your penis) compared to other OSes, and the specifications are also not anything crazy for modern computing.
But Timmy boy, you know what really fucking triggers me? These fucking bitchy boys whining about Cinnamon. Mweh Mweh motherfucker, it is just a DE like any fucking other. If it REALLY troubles you, just use the XFCE or MATE version?! Like problem solved. Idiot. Why is everything such a big deal in the fucking Linux community. Maybe if all these commie motherfuckers actually learned how to deal with their personal issues they could find time to learn how to use their brains.
"But my dearest BeeFucker1987, this blog is about the spying!"
You are fucking spot on Timmy boy! This is why I write for you. Smart kid. There is some logging, in fact, they are partnered with a company called Datadog. I think that is very suspicious. More ridiculous however are the partnerships with DuckDuckGo and Yahoo. DuckDuckGo is the default search engine in Linux Mint. The revenue generated by Linux Mint users when searching and clicking on sponsored links is shared between DuckDuckGo and DuckDuckGo/Yahoo. Now Timmy boy, I have no fucking clue what the fuck they are referring to with their sponsored links nonsense bullshit, but what I do know is that that sounds sketchy as fuck Timmy! According to their privacy policy, they do store some data. They promise it is minimal and securely stored. Your father also promised not to leave you but well here we are. Make of that what you will.
So we can safely conclude that Mint is suspicious privacy-wise, and that the fuckers who critique it or praise it for the standard reasons are retarted basement dwellers. Till next time.
