content: Redhat is cozy with the military, Canonical is cozy with Microsoft, but this article makes me not so quick to judge. I'm a relative newbie to Linux, and it was Windows 10 that's propelled me to do it.  I'm using Mint Cinnamon, and while I like it, I'm not sure it's the right distro for me.  There's so many choices out there it's pretty confusing, but Mint is the most popular, and for good reason it seems.  Then again, Canonical is a leader in Linux in many ways, and you don't have to use Unity in Ubuntu.  Could you tell me more about the evil Canonical is doing?  Again I'm a newbie so I haven't been following along for the past few years where I'm sure things have been moving quickly.
