(もっと多くのLinuxディストリビューションやDEが「Linus-Proof」になる時が来ました。 このフェイルセーフ機能を追加することは、Linuxデスクトップ全般にとって重要です。)
Popular tech YouTuber Linus, not Torvalds but Sebastian, decided to use Linux on desktop for a month. Linus Sebastian wanted to see if Linux has gotten to the point where it is user friendly enough that any tech nerd can pick it up and run? His focus was also on gaming on Linux because PC gaming is an area Sebastian covers a lot.
That’s an interesting concept and many in the Linux community got excited because it was free publicity for desktop Linux to a wider tech audience.
Only, it went horribly wrong in the very first part of the Linux Daily Driver Challenge. 0101login:Penguin2021/12/07(火) 08:58:23.57ID:MErHqQ4k>>100 この数週間は、デスクトップLinuxコミュニティを揺るがす出来事がありました。

Now Ubuntu GNU/Linux has become a counterexample. What should we do?
Proprietary software is associated with malicious treatment of the user: surveillance code, digital handcuffs (DRM or Digital Restrictions Management) to restrict users, and back doors that can do nasty things under remote control. Programs that do any of these things are malware and should be treated as such. Widely used examples include Windows, the iThings, and the Amazon "Kindle" product for virtual book burning, which do all three; Macintosh and the Playstation III which impose DRM; most portable phones, which do spying and have back doors; Adobe Flash Player, which does spying and enforces DRM; and plenty of apps for iThings and Android, which are guilty of one or more of these nasty practices. 0120login:Penguin2022/06/19(日) 11:57:58.21ID:LocB48RY>>119 フリーソフトウェアの大きな利点の1つは、コミュニティが悪意のあるソフトウェアからユーザを守ることです。今、Ubuntu GNU/Linuxはその反例となりました。私たちはどうしたらいいのでしょうか?
プロプライエタリなソフトウェアは、ユーザに対する次のような悪意のある扱いと関連しています。すなわり、 監視コード、ユーザを制限するデジタル手錠 (DRM もしくは Digital Restrictions Managementというもの)、そして遠隔操作で厄介なことをするバックドアなどです。これらのいずれかを行うプログラムはマルウェアであり、そのように扱われるべきです。広く使われている例としては、Windows、iThings、Amazonの "Kindle "製品(仮想ブック作成用)、MacintoshとPlaystation IIIについてはDRM、ほとんどの携帯電話ではスパイ行為とバックドアがあり、Adobe Flash Playerはスパイ行為とDRM、iThingsとAndroid用の多くのアプリケーションではこれらのうち一つまたは複数の不正行為を行う、というようにその例を挙げることができます。 0121login:Penguin2022/06/19(日) 12:00:40.04ID:LocB48RY Free software gives users a chance to protect themselves from malicious software behaviors. Even better, usually the community protects everyone, and most users don't have to move a muscle. Here's how.
Once in a while, users who know programming find that a free program has malicious code. Generally the next thing they do is release a corrected version of the program; with the four freedoms that define free software (see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html), they are free to do this. This is called a "fork" of the program. Soon the community switches to the corrected fork, and the malicious version is rejected. The prospect of ignominious rejection is not very tempting; thus, most of the time, even those who are not stopped by their consciences and social pressure refrain from putting malfeatures in free software. 0122login:Penguin2022/06/19(日) 12:16:21.55ID:LocB48RY>>121 自由ソフトウェアは、悪意のあるソフトウェアの振る舞いからユーザ自身を守る機会を与えてくれます。さらに良いことに、通常はコミュニティが皆を守るので、ほとんどのユーザはびくともする必要がありません。その方法とは次のとおりです。
まれに、プログラミングを知っているユーザが、自由なプログラムに悪意のあるコードがあることを発見することがあります。通常、そうしたユーザーは次の段階としてプログラムの修正版をリリースします。自由ソフトウェアを定義する4つの自由(http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html 参照)により、彼らはこれを自由に行うことができます。これはプログラムの「フォーク」と呼ばれます。すぐにコミュニティは修正されたフォークに乗り換え、悪意のあるバージョンは拒絶されます。不名誉な拒絶の見通しがあるのであまり魅力的ではありません。ですから、たいていの場合、良心や社会的圧力からでは止められない人々でさえ、自由ソフトウェアに悪意のある機能を入れることを控えるのです。 0123login:Penguin2022/06/19(日) 16:03:32.29ID:LocB48RY>>118 翻訳し公開するのは適当でないと判断したので、取り止めることとしました。 お手数とは存じますが以下原文(英語)をご覧ください。 0124login:Penguin2022/06/19(日) 16:05:25.84ID:LocB48RY But not always. Ubuntu, a widely used and influential GNU/Linux distribution, has installed surveillance code. When the user searches her own local files for a string using the Ubuntu desktop, Ubuntu sends that string to one of Canonical's servers. (Canonical is the company that develops Ubuntu.)
This is just like the first surveillance practice I learned about in Windows. My late friend Fravia told me that when he searched for a string in the files of his Windows system, it sent a packet to some server, which was detected by his firewall. Given that first example I paid attention and learned about the propensity of "reputable" proprietary software to be malware. Perhaps it is no coincidence that Ubuntu sends the same information.
Ubuntu uses the information about searches to show the user ads to buy various things from Amazon. Amazon commits many wrongs (see http://stallman.org/amazon.html); by promoting Amazon, Canonical contributes to them. However, the ads are not the core of the problem. The main issue is the spying. Canonical says it does not tell Amazon who searched for what. However, it is just as bad for Canonical to collect your personal information as it would have been for Amazon to collect it. 0125login:Penguin2022/06/19(日) 16:07:11.25ID:LocB48RY People will certainly make a modified version of Ubuntu without this surveillance. In fact, several GNU/Linux distros are modified versions of Ubuntu. When those update to the latest Ubuntu as a base, I expect they will remove this. Canonical surely expects that too.
Most free software developers would abandon such a plan given the prospect of a mass switch to someone else's corrected version. But Canonical has not abandoned the Ubuntu spyware. Perhaps Canonical figures that the name "Ubuntu" has so much momentum and influence that it can avoid the usual consequences and get away with surveillance.
Canonical says this feature searches the Internet in other ways. Depending on the details, that might or might not make the problem bigger, but not smaller.
Ubuntu allows users to switch the surveillance off. Clearly Canonical thinks that many Ubuntu users will leave this setting in the default state (on). And many may do so, because it doesn't occur to them to try to do anything about it. Thus, the existence of that switch does not make the surveillance feature ok.
Even if it were disabled by default, the feature would still be dangerous: "opt in, once and for all" for a risky practice, where the risk varies depending on details, invites carelessness. To protect users' privacy, systems should make prudence easy: when a local search program has a network search feature, it should be up to the user to choose network search explicitly each time. This is easy: all it takes is to have separate buttons for network searches and local searches, as earlier versions of Ubuntu did. A network search feature should also inform the user clearly and concretely about who will get what personal information of hers, if and when she uses the feature. 0126login:Penguin2022/06/19(日) 16:09:14.70ID:LocB48RY If a sufficient part of our community's opinion leaders view this issue in personal terms only, if they switch the surveillance off for themselves and continue to promote Ubuntu, Canonical might get away with it. That would be a great loss to the free software community.
We who present free software as a defense against malware do not say it is a perfect defense. No perfect defense is known. We don't say the community will deter malware without fail. Thus, strictly speaking, the Ubuntu spyware example doesn't mean we have to eat our words.
But there's more at stake here than whether some of us have to eat some words. What's at stake is whether our community can effectively use the argument based on proprietary spyware. If we can only say, "free software won't spy on you, unless it's Ubuntu," that's much less powerful than saying, "free software won't spy on you."
It behooves us to give Canonical whatever rebuff is needed to make it stop this. Any excuse Canonical offers is inadequate; even if it used all the money it gets from Amazon to develop free software, that can hardly overcome what free software will lose if it ceases to offer an effective way to avoid abuse of the users.
If you ever recommend or redistribute GNU/Linux, please remove Ubuntu from the distros you recommend or redistribute. If its practice of installing and recommending nonfree software didn't convince you to stop, let this convince you. In your install fests, in your Software Freedom Day events, in your FLISOL events, don't install or recommend Ubuntu. Instead, tell people that Ubuntu is shunned for spying.
While you're at it, you can also tell them that Ubuntu contains nonfree programs and suggests other nonfree programs. (See http://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html.) That will counteract the other form of negative influence that Ubuntu exerts in the free software community: legitimizing nonfree software. 0127login:Penguin2022/07/20(水) 12:58:37.59ID:d8wyo5rl 新着記事 8 Reasons Why Linux Mint is Better Than Ubuntu for Linux Beginners を翻訳します。 0128login:Penguin2022/07/20(水) 12:59:00.85ID:d8wyo5rl 8 Reasons Why Linux Mint is Better Than Ubuntu for Linux Beginners ByAbhishek Prakash Updated on July 13, 2022
Which one is better, Linux Mint or Ubuntu?
This question has been there ever since Linux Mint came into the picture, and this article does not answer this question. Well, not entirely.
So, what is this about, then?
I have been an Ubuntu user for a long time. I stray to other Linux distributions, but I keep coming back to Ubuntu, eventually. Furthermore, I occasionally try my hands on Linux Mint, mostly to write articles about it. I must say, using Linux Mint is quite a pleasant experience.
As a die-hard Ubuntu fan, I come back from Mint to Ubuntu in time, but not before noticing that Linux Mint is better than Ubuntu for a beginner (and some users).
It’s because there are a few things that Linux Mint handles better than Ubuntu, by default. And ‘by default’ matters when we are talking about a Linux beginner. Because an experienced Linux user will find their way. It’s the beginners who struggle with even a seemingly obvious thing.
Considering that I have used both of these popular Linux distributions, I am confident that I can make a fair comparison of Linux Mint and Ubuntu.
The comparison which I am doing here is from the point of view of a beginner Linux desktop user who probably has just switched from Windows or thinking to switch to Linux. But it should still be a good read for an experienced user.
この質問は Linux Mint が登場したときからずっとあるもので、この記事はこの問いに答えるものではありません。まあ、全くないわけではありませんが。
では、これはどういうことなのでしょうか?
私は長い間 Ubuntu ユーザでした。他のLinuxディストリビューションに迷い込むこともありますが、結局はUbuntuに戻ってきます。さらに、記事を書くために時々 Linux Mint を使っています。Linux Mint を使うのは非常に楽しい経験です。
Ubuntu の熱心なファンであった私は Mint から Ubuntu に戻りました。それは初心者 (と一部のユーザ)には Linux Mint が Ubuntu よりも優れていることに気づかされる前のことです。
それは Linux Mint が Ubuntu よりもデフォルトで優れている点がいくつかあるからで す。Linux 初心者の場合、「デフォルトで」というのは重要です。なぜなら、経験豊富な Linux ユーザは自分の道を見つけることができるからです。一見当たり前のことでも苦労するのが初心者なのです。
私は人気のある Linux ディストリビューションを両方使ったことがあるので、 Linux Mint と Ubuntu の公正な比較をする自信があります。
ここで行う比較は、おそらく Windows から乗り換えた、または Linux に乗り換えようと考えている初心者 Linux デスクトップユーザの視点からのものです。しかし、経験豊富なユーザにとっても読み応えがあるはずです。 0130login:Penguin2022/07/20(水) 13:14:20.51ID:d8wyo5rl>>129 初心者が Ubuntu よりも Linux Mint を選ぶ 8 つのポイント
