Good. I use Pinta. Why not install that? Very lightweight.
Consider leaving out Libre Office. Like most normies, I use Google Docs.
Speaking of Google, why not install Chrome? 76% of people use it. You could make a deal with them to promote Zorin or even pay you.
I don't understand the paranoia about Google. Linux is all about getting rid of WINDOWS/APPLE. One thing at a time. If you have an Android phone, Google already spies on you quite thoroughly.
Because it would be bad to be bind on Google. They dominating already way too much. It would create a Dependency that could lead to interfering in the Development.
Yes, and what do You think they would do when they have the Chance in a Linux Distro to do that? Even when only Google Chrome is preinstalled?
It depends on your threshold for ill effects.
Many of us have experienced some rather disconcerting target market advertising that makes it abundantly clear that we are being monitored.
Privacy becomes nebulous and having privacy is not the same as having something to hide.
Imagine working in a major financial institution and needing to disable your android phone before entering sensitive areas of the building - nothing to do with electronics or static discharge.
When it comes to opinions, we can present a case, but present it while staying aware that does not mean our opinion is the Correct Way - and should be applied en mass.
ZorinGroup had to make a choice because Zorin OS had to come with a default browser.
They prioritized end user privacy in their decision.
Why use chrome, if something else works just as good, but also covers issues that are important to a large percentage of the base?
We're not doing this and yes, your warning is official.
You have a high propensity to jump on the forum once in a blue moon and post extreme political views including claims that lack any merit like this one.
There are many distros that come with Chrome as the default. The most apt one for this conversation would probably be Linux Lite, as it also targets newer users to Linux. I do not believe any money has changed hands between that project and Google for that to happen.
Well when you here of international journalists who have used Google docs to record war crimes have had their account deleted together with their YouTube channel then no, Google is not a good idea.
With regards to GIMP I think it was decided from the outset of 18 if not 17 not to include GIMP and other software to reduce the footprint of the .iso following feedback of users. There is nothing wrong with GIMP. In the end it is user choice that matters.
