Just a shame they're promoting an OS built to spy on you, and one with no free firmware blobs. By free I mean free to be examined and criticised.

They should have used Fedora, it doesn't spy on you, and if you have any doubts you can open up 100% of the OS and chick everything for yourself. You can't do that on Ubuntu's closed firmware, which can be used to spy on you. And lets be honest if the NSA went to canonical and demanded by law that Can. install more malware, do you think they'll take a stand?
