    Nearly a million in less than 3 months for a distro I’ve never heard of before? Cap.

    It looks pretty dogshit to me, and the pricing model tries to mimic windows. “but is donation!!” even if it’s a “donation” the titles are misleading because of their correlations.

    It’s a manipulative tactic to try to convince your users otherwise. I found another case of this “donation” thing from the administrators of a community trying to deceive their users.

    If you don’t stop this snake behaviour I will luigi the fuck out of you. Don’t touch linux with your dirty hands you scum.

      Oh fuck off. You’ll Luigi the open source people who offer a free OS designed for people unfamiliar with Linux but not Oracle or Microsoft CEOs? Surrrrrre.

      You harm the open source community far more than the average closed source marketer. Haven’t even heard of a distro that’s been around over a decade either? Poser

      Zorin’s been around for years. I’ve only ever used the free version. It’s okay, but I think Mint is a better transition between Windows and Linux.

      Where have you been? Lol. Its been quite popular in Linux discussions I have seen around the COVID era. Started in 2009/2010 Used to have a suggested fee and you’d just type how much you wanted to pay, even $0. Looks like they now specifically set it into separate downloads , free for core version and money for preinstalled apps.
