Invest in our freedom. Possibly we will see blockchain technologies infused into media more. Revolution PI is one I think could play some role in a secure internet.

The best way to experience Ubuntu is Linux Mint.
I would favor Linux Mint over Ubuntu these days. Started on Ubuntu and have since fucked with Debian, Linux Mint, Manjaro, Triscal, Rasbian, Dietpi and Manjaro Arm.
Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) is all the simplicity of Ubuntu and then some (codecs for example) minus the snap package fuckery and comes from a company that is not compromised like Canonical. It is a superior distribution with all the benefits of Ubuntu's user base, optimized software and solutions because they are the same.
It is perfect for Linux noobs, has a very, very civilized install process and does not have the disgusting GNOME desktop out of the box. I am running KDE Plasma which I installed instead of Cinnamon.
I don't trust Canonical as an organization. I switched from Raspbian on the raspberry pi because they added a microsoft repository (Visual Studio Code) that had the ability to install code on the system. Dietpi aggressively blocked this; actually removing the repo during the install process, before it had received even one ping from the device. Mint is a bit like this to Canonical's Ubuntu.
I'm not sure but I feel like that's a typo? Is Canonical compromised or not?
They are the largest Linux distribution and I consider them to have attracted the most attention from forces seeking to fuck with the linux world.
For example, back in Ubuntu 12.10 (2012) they integrated Amazon search right into the Unity desktop. Whenever you searched your computer for your files, Amazon.com copied the search and net results were also displayed. WTF! So when typing Filezilla, for example, to bring the program up to run it, Amazon would know and a net search query for the term would be conducted. Fucking crazy.
The community spat a dummy. This is the sort of thing I am talking about.
