Linux Mint downloads (briefly) compromised

glaubitz, thanks for noting many of the things bad and wrong with Mint. Your list is quite good. I've suffered directly from Mint deciding to make one of my tools the default in Mint, for a while, until the flood of Mint users who were in general totally incompetent forced me to drop all support for them, permanently. Mint is totally non supportable by any downstream source because of their ridiculously broken, by design, update/packaging decisions. Clem had never once thought it necessary to talk to me about his decision, nor would he ever admit that his FrankenDebianBuntu ( unique creature in the world, managing to break fundamentally not just one, but TWO source distributions at once) is in fact totally unsupportable by any sane person. Not to mention his monstrosity, LMDE, which is not at all Debian, at least it's not since the primary dev of that left in disgust at the absurd garbage clem was forcing into lmde.
