I guess we had nothing better to do on a Linux User group but to start a Distro war in 2017.
Lets keep it civil there a few people possibly still in the hundreds who probably like me do not care to have this conversation and i think who ever does should take it off the list. This is a mailing list for linux and linux questions and events, This is not a popularity list and considering there are more linux distros out there then days in a year, i think which one is better is best left for individual users to decide. > On Jan 12, 2017, at 10:19 AM, Jean Christophe André > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Le 2017-01-12 à 08:12, Leslie S Satenstein a écrit : >> The January invitation was titled UBUNTU users.
