NgoNovemba wonyaka (2011) elidlulileyo liqalile impikiswano kushushu ngendlela Linux mint wagqitha Ubuntu kuluhlu lweDistroWatch, yiyo loo nto kusithiwa "kusasazwa" ukusasazwa kweLinux okwedlula.
Musa ukoyika! Ubuntu isesona sabelo saziwayo. Umbhali wethu weendwendwe, UDavid gomez de EmsLinux, ucacisa ukuba kutheni. |
Njengoko bekulindelekile, ezi ngxelo zinikezwe yimithombo yeendaba ezahlukeneyo kunye neebhloko kwiinethiwekhi ibangele inkathazo enkulu kuluntu lwe-ubuntera kunye nokumemeza kovuyo kuluntu olujikeleze iLinux Mint.
Kodwa ngelishwa labathile kwaye ngethamsanqa kwabanye, la mabango aswele isiseko esiqinileyo, njengoko i-metrowatch metrics ibonisa ukuthandwa okukhulu kweLinux Mint ngaphezulu kwe-Ubuntu kwi-DistroWatch, hayi kwilizwe lokwenyani.
Phakathi kwezona ndawo zibukhali kwaye zinoburhalarhume ekuphenduleni iingxelo eziziswe ngamajelo eendaba kunye neebhlog yile ibhaliweyo UBenjamin Humphrey de OMG! Ubuntu! isihloko 'Dare Ukwahluka: Ukuthandwa ngu-Ubuntu Akunciphisi' Apho abenza "njengeediots" abo babebambe umbono wokuba iimetriki zeDistroWatch zibonisa ukongama kweLinux Mint ngoku kwi-Ubuntu kwisabelo sentengiso.
Kwiintsuku nje ezidlulileyo UJoey sneddon kwakhona umhleli webhlog efanayo, bhala ungeniso olunxulumene kwakhona nesihloko esinesihloko 'Amanani abonisa Ubuntu angalahlekiyo kumhlaba weLinux Mint', ngeli xesha, uyenza ngendlela enobuhlobo kwaye ehambisa idatha efanelekileyo yokwenyani malunga nokuthandwa kokuhanjiswa kokubini, oku kungenxa yezimvo azifumene kwi-imeyile yakhe inguqulelo yakhe iya kuba koku kulandelayo:
"Ngenxa yamanani akhutshelweyo akhutshelweyo akhutshwa nge-distrowatch, akufuneki ukuba le ndawo itshintshe igama layo libe yi-OMGMINT ukuze ihlale ilungile?"
Ukuphendula le ngxelo inesibindi, uJoey uphendula ngokuthumela uthotho lweedatha ebonelelwe ngu Wikimedia apho kucace gca ukuba Ubuntu buhlala buhleli kumda obanzi Ukuhanjiswa kweLinux idumile phaya kwaye kubonakala ngathi ayibonisi miqondiso yokuwa phantsi kweLinux Mint.
Amanani eWikimedia abonisa indlela abasebenzisi baka-Ubuntu abatyelele le ndawo ngenyanga ka-Okthobha ka-2011 16,924,000 Ngelixa abasebenzisi beLinux Mint babekhona kuphela 556,000Ukongeza, ngo-Novemba ngo-2011 abasebenzisi be-Ubuntu abatyelele le ndawo babe 29,432,000 (inani eliqaqambileyo kuyo nayiphi na inkqubo yokusebenza) kunye neeLinux Mint zazinjalo 624,000.
Njengoko sibona, iinombolo zeLinux Mint ziphuculwe, kwaye zininzi, kodwa hayi ukuya kwinqanaba lokufikelela ube sisongelo sokwenene kuBuntu okanye ufumane ukukhuphisana ngokuthe ngqo nayo malunga nesabelo sentengiso.
Akukho mntu utshoyo (ubuncinci ukuba kufanelekile) ukuba amanani e DistroWatch azinamsebenzi okanye azinangxaki. Kodwa gcinani engqondweni ukuba la manani amele kuphela "ukhetho" lwabakhenkethi beDistroWatch, hayi ukhetho lwe-100% yabasebenzisi beLinux kwaye kungaphantsi kukhetho lwehlabathi liphela, into ethi ukuba encinci iWikimedia.
Nangona kunjalo, Ukwanda kwabasebenzisi beLinux Mint kuyamangalisa kwaye kufanelekile ukuqhwatyelwa izandla, kuba olu nikezelo lwenze ukufaneleka ukuba yenye yezona zidumileyo kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo ziya kuqhubeka zikhula ngoku Cinnamon ukubonile ukukhanya kufumana ulwamkelo olukhulu kwinxalenye yabasebenzisi be-GNOME.
Ukubanakho ukubeka lo mbandela ecaleni, kuyakuba yinto yokuba impikiswano elandelayo (ukulwa) iya kuba malunga nendlela iCinnamon eya kutsala ngayo abasebenzisi abangaphezulu I-GNOME Shell… Ucinga ntoni?
I-Mint inomdla, kodwa ezinye izinto kufuneka zisebenze. Uhlaziyo olucetyiswayo kufakelo olucocekileyo, kunye nokuhlaziywa kwenethiwekhi kwaye abanye bayadimazeka. Kulungile kumsebenzisi oyingcali, kodwa hayi kumsebenzisi oqhelekileyo, ofuna izisombululo ezilula nezingqinisisiweyo.
