LXer: The Perfect Desktop - Ubuntu Studio 12.04


Published at LXer:

This tutorial shows how you can set up an Ubuntu Studio 12.04 desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge. Please note that Ubuntu Studio 12.04 uses Xfce as the default desktop environment.

What an odd tutorial, a setup for a media-creation centred distro with no mention of that in the blurb.
I think somebody needs to check the "without DRM restrictions" phrase as it's either redundant and/or not entirely accurate depending on how you look at it.
Redundant in that there's nothing you can do on Linux that you can't on Windows specifically because of DRM. In fact, you could say you're more restricted without some DRM software (can't use Netflix for example).
Not entirely accurate because libdvdcss2 is a library, potentially illegal in many jurisdictions, for decrypting DRM content and Adobe Flash can be used for the same.
