Re: [Trisquel-users] Chris from TP is a hypocrite

Yeah, Linux Mint does have some interesting things other than nonfree  
software. One thing that really got my attention the first time I used it,  
though I don't know for sure that it isn't a result of nonfree software, is  
the terminal tells you exactly what to type to get a command working. So for  
example, if you type "gedit" without Gedit installed, it tells you that you  
can get that command to work with "sudo apt-get install gedit". I always  
thought that this simple feature was a very good idea. I guess it must  
require maintaining a massive database or something, though, it might not be  
feasible for Trisquel (though I would love to be proven wrong).

I can't say I like everything that it does even without nonfree software,  
still. In particular, I don't get why they insist on a weird login screen  
that requires you to type your username, or at least doesn't have an obvious  
option to show a graphical list of usernames (recently with Mint 13, and also  
with Mint 12 LXDE at least).
