I like to get away from Microsoft AND the rest of the GAFAs.
LINUX (if not already infested by these rogue guys) mais be one solution.
However, the further I go the more I wonder whether, and if yes, to which extent LINUX and Mozilla are nowadays still a clean alternative to "Big Brother", the GAFAs+M ?
I installed Conky on Ubuntu 16.04 64b but the GUI I got is completely different from yours! I send a screenshot.
There is only 1 theme and none of the utilities you showed...

I'll need more information before I cover it.
hi. abhishek, im confius. i have use unity for more than 3 years,but some of my friends said that kde is better, but when i give a try, i dislike it, but i still wan to use it, cause i want to know wich one is really better,
and i want to ask you, wich desktop environment do you use and like much ?
Hi, Azzam. Every person is different. I neither like KDE nor Unity, i like Cinnamon and XFCE they're lightweight, and KDE is the heaviest from all DE. It's like saying "I love spicy" but not every person love spicy. Environment flavour is up to you
Thanks so much Stevie Jordan
Hi all !
Bharat Operating System Solutions (BOSS) is a free and open source Linux distribution developed by the National Resource Centre for Free/Open Source Software (NRCFOSS) of India. BOSS GNU/Linux is also known by the acronym BOSS.
This software package has been described as "India's own PC operating system" and "the most meaningful product to come out of the Indian software industry in decades — and a work that a government department had done".
The software has also been endorsed by the Government of India for adoption and implementation on a national scale. It was developed at Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC), Chennai INDIA. BOSS GNU/Linux is an "LSB certified" Linux distribution: the software has been certified by the Linux Foundation for compliance with the Linux Standard Base standard.
------------------------------------------------
This is all on paper in reality the whole country is locked by Microsoft Windows. I am really trying hard to implement BOSS across the country and set my country (India) free from proprietary and closed source software. I would like you to read my full story in the form of a petition on Change.org and encourage me by signing it. This story may inspire other FOSS activists. The link is given below. Thanks and regards ---- Milind

In this connection i would like to say one thing. Since one year government is doing its best to prevent the torrent sites and many ISPs have sincerely blocked the torrent sites. Reason antipiracy policy. I was wondering how many of the government of india offices use the original paid version of MS WINDOWS products? How much they have paid if all the MS WINDOS - XP and Windows 7 that are installed all over government offices in India. May be Bill Gates was generous enough to offer free of charge original versions considering the fact that india is a poor country, cannot afford to pay for the software it uses? Or like many anti MS enthusiasts it also justify saying MS has cheated the users so long and made billions and billions and users can use the pirated software to settle the score?
Regarding the government of india CDAC - BOSS software - l had downloaded and also personally went to the CDAC office at chennai and just for asking they were happy to give me neatly packed CDs with user instructions. Also i was able to download faster without any problem from their websites.
They have also published some 100 pages user manual and guidance book which can be downloaded in pdf form. I had downloaded and got it printed and spiral bound for my desk copy. Nicely written.
The reason for people in government offices still use Windows XP or WINDOWS 7 is that most of the employees are with basic minimum qualified quota recruited staff. Many are in the middle of 40s and resist any kind of learning once they get into the job. Even the highly qualified Commissioners and Joint commissioners level many are not computer savvy. Every department office conducts some 2 months course on the use of software for office work (special software). Many will depute lower level staff and many will sit at tea shops and enjoy some free time.
In many departments i have seen side by side government staff and TCS staff working and literally it is the TCS staff who could handle any queries. May be once the government starts insisting some kind of qualification about computer usage while recruiting this problem cannot be solved, or may take many more yeas. Till then BOSS is only like a helper maid and not BOSS.

Does anyone knows is it possible and how to watch BD3D iso on Linux?
Hi Vanja,
I have never tried 3D blue ray.. well because I don't have a 3D screen :)
I add it to my list and will try to write a tutorial when it is possible. Meanwhile I would suggest to ask it on Ask Ubuntu. And if you find a way, do share it with us.
I really like the news on your blog about the Linux/Ubuntu stuff. But I guess I'd come and stay here even more often if you'd change the font of the headlines. It's too fancy and very distracting. It actually makes me feel uncomfortable. Otherwise I guess I'd come here just as often as I visit the OMG!Ubuntu blog.
Hi Lisa,
Thank you for your honest feedback.
I agree that it is too fancy. Though I am not very good at customizing a theme, I'll try to change it, may be to Ubuntu's default fonts.
i keep having to install flash everytime how do i make that permanent
