Re: [Trisquel-users] Windows 7 and 8 users are starting to disable Windows Update entirely. Yikes.

I don't think Mint has any particular advantages in this regard over Ubuntu.  
Ubuntu makes it just as easy to install proprietary drivers as Mint does.  
Unlike Mint, though, Ubuntu separates libre from proprietary software, for  
the most part. (I don't entirely agree with Canonical's definition of what is  
libre; it includes some fonts that are under a license I think is  
proprietary, for example. But in general, proprietary software is relegated  
to the "restricted" and "multiverse" repositories.)
