"agents provocateurs"? I've been using Xubuntu since 2008 and don't appreciate your rudeness.
I'm was using Xubuntu 24.04.2 LTS I found after installation i had 4 orphans [non deletable] which i posted about and received no helpful comments. Then raise the issue of Firefox and Chromium crashes after the last update. Versions from the repo. I'm no 'agent provocateur' If comments like these are what Xubuntu mailing list has to offer these days i am glad i returned to MX Linux... and there the browsers are working fine. james On Wed, 13 Aug 2025 at 09:24, Joao Monteiro <[email protected]> wrote: > > Liam, don't waste your time, learn to suss up the "agents provocateurs" and > ignore them. > > As far as this thread stands, he just wanted to advertize a new distro, that > much is obvious. > > Back in the past, when I was lookung around to get rid off Windows, I tried > several lunux distros... in those days, we'd buy them in cd and then dvd... > > Spent quite a bit of money, tried many, including fedora, red hat and suse... > then teied ubuntu and it seemed it would do the trick for me, so started > investing my time in learning linux more seriously. > > Eventually stumbled upon Xubuntu... and the rest, as the saying goes, is > history.
