What seems to be getting lost in all of this is that Ubuntu 12.04 ‘Precise Pangolin’ (the Long Term Support release that will be supported until 2017) has none of the hoohah that their most recent (until April 2013) ‘Quantal Quetzal’ 12.10 release has brought along with it, and should be doing the world of good in promoting Free and Open Source Software as a fully functioning and very capable alternative to other proprietary and closed-source operating systems. There have been grumblings about ‘ adware‘, talk of ‘ spyware‘ and usually someone chipping in and saying ‘Ubuntu is rubbish. Ubuntu has come under a decent amount of flack over the past few months, particularly over their decision to use the ‘Dash Search’ to return results from Amazon by default in their most recent release.
