OMG! Ubuntu Review

Depends

Should I use OMG! Ubuntu?

Ubuntu News, Apps, Tips & More - omgubuntu.co.uk

· 1 month ago

This is a free, donation-funded Ubuntu news blog, not software you can buy or deploy — read it if you run Ubuntu or another Linux desktop, skip it if you were evaluating a tool. There is no pricing, support, or vendor relationship here; confidence is low because sources are thin.
