Re: Alternative to Linux Mint?
How much of that would I really miss if I switched to Ubuntu? Is there some automatic way (through a third party or otherwise) to easily get those proprietary things after an Ubuntu install?
Installing proprietary stuff in Ubuntu is relatively easy. It's just a matter of installing a package through the Add/Remove Applications option. You can either use the command line or graphic interface. The exact details for installation through the graphic interface are:
1. click System/Administration/Software Sources
2. under the Ubuntu Software tab make sure the "Multiverse" repository is checked.
3. click Applications/Add Remove
4. Search for "Restricted Extras"
5. Select and install
6. Reboot
