Canonical launches a website with all the statistics of using Ubuntu on a global level

Ubuntu, the operating system for poor people worldwide (tm)

Underrated post.

Who cares about screen resolution of VMs?

VM
I'm more worried about the 25% of 768p resolution

>Australia, Sweden and Germany are poor

t. seething mutt

Ubuntu isn't freedom, it is not FSF approved.

albania are the niggers of balkan
most of balkan ubuntu users are albanian so ubuntu users are niggers

wtf, why are so many abos using foss?

>foss
Why are you afraid to say free? Also, abos are less than 3% of the population of Australia.

foss stands for free open source software, why does saying foss make me afraid of saying free? Free isn't enough to describe Ubuntu

VMs and people who just buy cheap laptops

Because you're adding open source and not saying that it is simply free. Just say "free software" and avoid any mention of "open source". Open source misses the point.
>Free isn't enough to describe Ubuntu
I agree, it should be described as "partially free".

if you dont please fuck off?

Why should I not add open source? I can go an look at ubuntus source when ever I want

That is part of it being free. Open source is a corporate friendly term created by people who have no interest in freedom.

Don't bother stooping to the autistic levels of the FSF and Stallfag fanbois that think everyone wants to develop software for free.

>This report is generated from basic, non-identifiable system data that was provided by users when installing Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
>How many users opted in?
>opted in
Yanks are illiterate, who would've guessed

>Americans calling people mutts
lmao that's rich

Wow, so it's exactly like Windows.

comes preinstalled with amazon....wow

>windows telemetry
>opt-in

1.No one cares about your cult redefinition of the terms "free" and "freedom".
2.Ubuntu/Linux isn't good. The only people who continue to use it are cult members and people who are used to putting up with substandard things because that's life to them (look at the map).

Is Windows completely opt-in now? I thought on Windows you had to tinker with it to stop it from sharing information.
Do they still do that? I haven't used Ubuntu in a long time, I thought they got rid of the Amazon thing. Besides, isn't it just a link to Amazon or something?

they are both wrong

Based and redpilled

you go?

Blued and cringepilled

surprised about japan and worst korea

Virtual Machines use it as a default resolution. Same reason why most users appear to have 1 or 2 cores only.

fpbp

Because americans are the VERY BEST GOYS

>count of how many users opted in
think about this
this would require this detail to be sent to canonical, regardless of whether the user opted in or not

And anyone running a server

Well that's true, they don't mention how they arrived at this number, which make it sound like they send information despite you not opting in. Though if all they're sharing is that you declined to opt in, that's not a major issue IMO, though it's dumb if they do even that despite clearly asking if you'd like to share info.

Would be far less despicable getting your info without asking anyway

I wouldn't go that far

yes, i'm not trying to shit on them for that, by all accounts, writing down "they declined" isn't something anyone is going to complain about
but if you wanted to be super anal about not stepping on any toes, they could make a third option
accept/decline/skip

>why don't people use this free anazon botnet
Geeh, I don't know... maybe don't like amazon ads inside their fucking operating system.
Based and redpilled and informed

But canonical would

abos don't know how to install another os, let alone boot off of a usb or set it up in the first place

That's true. Asking about it and then going against that decision, even if on a very minor thing, doesn't look good.
Hah

Why is Australia so high? Is it because I've been distro hoping between Ubuntu flavours?

No, it being free only requires that customers get the source if they ask for it. It doesn't have to be open, as in, everyone can see it.

They could also compare number of opt-ins with number of downloads, but that's prone to be inaccurate.

Goddamn communist russky poorfags cannot buy Windows license. Ashamed of my country yet again.

No being free means that anyone can view the source code of the software, anyone can modify the software, anyone can distribute the software, and anyone can distribute modified versions of the software.

Are you ashamed that your people use something free instead of paying for it like a good customer?

When you say free, most people assume as in free beer, not freedom

But that isn't what I mean. So why does it matter?

Maybe Americans just use different Linux.

Maybe one that don't track their userbase

ChromeOS is better than Debian, Debian is better than Ubuntu, Ubuntu is better than Windows, Windows is better than macOS

Pixel is better than iPhone and Samshit

So Brazil, one of the most corrupt countries on earth, uses Ubuntu instead
Clearly they love freedom

>No being free means that anyone can view the source code of the software
No it doesn't, check the GPL.

We have a lot of freedom here in Brasil, the government is too corrupt to do some surveillance, you can say anything without consequences.

9 in 10 governments agents agree, Europe and America are more free than Brazil

It is guaranteed under the GPL.

I'm not sure what your point is anymore. Why shouldn't I say foss to describe free open source software (like ubuntu)

Because it will muddy the point. Being open source is but one part of free software. So why say both? Free software suffices.

Foobar2k is free but isn't open source

Yeah. In Brazil they can torrent without being denounced by their ISP, having their connection shut down, and being sued by the copyright holder for millions of $

>Do they still do that?
Not for years.

The GPL allows you to distribute your free software as object code, and at point 6b they allow you to limit source code distribution to those who have the object code.
In case of embedded devices that may easily mean that you won't see the code ever unless you buy said device. Unless a customer decides to redistribute the source code of course.

>third world is too poor to afford windows so they go with linux

it's like a map of epidemic spreading

>First world is too rich so they buy something that's free

No, it is proprietary, not free.
So you are saying that because it is limited to users that it is not open?

>Most of Africa is first world now
Why didn't that make the news?

LMAO, only shit countries use Linux.

>he actually bought windows

silly fag

Last I checked you didn't have to pay for it. FOSS is a much more concise and accurate way of describing such software

Great countries like China, India and Saud Arabia knows better

Why countries with heavy government surveillance prefer to use windows?

The basic idea of Open Source is that the source is open to anyone. The basic idea of Free software is that you have control over your own devices, including the software running on them. There are fine differences in the intent, even though practically in many, many cases Free will also be open to anyone.

Like Russia?
Anyway, your OS doesn't matter when they have direct access to everything you do on the internet through the ISP anyway.

You shouldn't base your opinion on memes, EU legislation forces ISP to store every bit of information for safety purpose, while Russia don't.

>if someone opted in, your get a tick
>if they didn't, you get nothing
Why amerimutts are such brainlets?

So you only know the the number of ticks of the opt-ins. How do you know the total number of installations?

Does too.

You don't

Russia has their own Anti-Terror laws. And even American't will know where it is on the map so it was taken as the counter-example.

I am surprised the Nordic countries differ so much.

t.Norwegian

You either need to know the total number or the number of opt-outs to calculate the percentage of opt-ins.
Well, or you just make up a number, not like anyone could prove you wrong.

The point is that EU and America have more regulations and surveillance, and yet Americans and Europeans think Russia is a surveillance state

But they use Windows so it would be pointless to use them as a counter-example to the point made.

I'm yet trying to see what magical rules you need to have a valid example.
All countries that don't use linux have heavy surveillance regulation, most that use linux have lower or no surveillance regulation.
