I don't get it . Is there some kind of trend of comparing Ubuntu with every other thing.

this thing beats the crap out of Ubuntu.

What has Ubuntu to do with this thread at all? Next if someone posts a Gentoo review , will you go there and post that this beats the crap out of Ubuntu?

Did you even take the time to read the first post you posted on this thread?

Ubuntu is a great OS for Newbies, I fully Agree.

FFS there are tonnes of people who run Ubuntu. I told you before cut the elitist crap. You think Ubuntu is noobish then move on . I seriously doubt the community needs people who nitpicks at the default colour of the wallpaper on the desktop.

Unless you live in a country where every action of yours is copyrighted, like the US, you will have no trouble with Mint. So Ubuntu for americans, Mint for the rest of us
|
Actions don't get copyrighted, Content does. I'm not even going into this legally cause I think you have no clue what you're talking about.

We mustn't forget that Ubuntu is supposed to be an operating system designed keeping newbies, not pros in mind. So if thats what its scope is, I would HAVE to say Mint is better.

HAHAHA Contradicting your own comparisons.
Post 1.

But Mint beats it because it provides a better set of applications, has more features, is easier to use and is newbie friendly.

Either you said Mint is "noob" friendly in the second or is not "noob" friendly in the second. I can't get a clue what you meant cause the sentence makes no sense whatsoever. But in either case it contradicts post 1 or 2. If you think I understood it wrong then explain it better next time.

1. Debian has the simplest and easiest package manager
2. Gnome is the most newbie friendly environment
3. Ubuntu is an OS with excellent commercial support
4. There exist few newbie friendly Debian/Gnome based OSes except Ubuntu and company.
5. Ubuntu is restricted by American copyright laws and African design laws.
6. Ubuntu is based on debian as an easy to use OS
7. Mint is designed as what ubuntu should be
8. Mint has no american copyright issues

I'm not going to compare any of these points just because 5/8 are about Ubuntu and has NOTHING to do with Mint. 1/8th you contradict yourself. Then 2/8th are assumptions considering you haven't used Elyssa and you have not a clue about copyright laws.
To end this may I say. This was never a distro comparison thread. Your " You are a noob if you run Ubuntu, I run Random Distro 101 and is l337" attitude sucks. Do yourself a favour . Buy yourself a clue.
