Not trolling. Just find it humorous that you guys drill it down everyone
else's throats about how things should be free software with no ifs, ands, or
buts and then come around and defend the pre-installation of an operating
system that conflicts with your ideals.
It is true that you can wipe out Mint and install with Trisquel, but if that
is the goal, why even sell them to begin with? Might as well get the free
software alternative and not promote the sales of Mint. Chris has tasted the
forbidden fruit and it is oh so juicy.
Some of you are also defending this decision because you are realizing that
selling 100% libre systems isn't profitable by itself. In the past you have
argued with me that money can be made from free software and one should never
go down the dark path of accepting non-free software on your systems to make
money. You have talked about using service contracts to make a profit and RMS
has said that there are more ethical jobs like a factory worker instead of
writing proprietary software.
Are you guys really that sheepish and brainwashed to ignore the realization
that the thought of TP selling Linux Mint based systems is hurting your
cause?
