Simple tasks, such as replacing the greasy dude behind the counter at the local burger joint with a touchscreen ordering system? OK, I can see the use in that.
The penitent information that the story blerb doesn't mention is that 17.3 'Rosa' isn't available via the update manger yet. (An upgrade option should be in the "edit" menu.) But, according to Kirk M.:
"Once the new version of the Mint Update Manager is released (next week sometime, there will be an LM blog announcement as well) the option to upgrade to 17.3 will be included usually in the "Edit" menu. By default, the Update Manager will only continue to update your current install (17.2 in your case) unless you specifically choose to upgrade to 17.3. Just click on the option to upgrade listed in the "Edit" menu, sit back and relax until it's done. Reboot.
It shouldn't be any more complicated than installing normal updates since the base remains the same. Your current kernel should stay the same as well (not upgraded to the newer kernel thatâ(TM)s automatically installed during a "clean" install) which is a decent safety factor for those that upgrade."
However, upgrading via the command line can be done right now. According to this website, just issue the following commands:
sudo sed -i 's/rafaela/rosa/g'/etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list
This isn't perfect, but I was using the batch file from here to uninstall/disable most of the telemetry bullshit from Windows 7.
(It says it's for Windows 10, but it seems works for Windows 7, too. Also note that the hiding/disabling of the KB updates in Windows update didn't work perfectly for me; I had to go back in a hide/disable some of them manually, afterward.)
The fark... why?? Didn't Google release Android L ("Lollipop") less than a year ago? Why, couldn't this just be Android v5.2 ??
Oh wait. This is the post-Chrome rapid version number churn era... unless a product is updated by big, big, major version numbers at least three times a year*, "consumers" will consider it outdated and old-hat. Right?
( * Along with simplified, condescending changelogs ("coz, technical words scare people!!!") that basically boil down to "we updated your experience and fixed some "issues". Enjoy our product! Lololozz [smile emoji] " )

Canonical put together [...] showing the world how popular Ubuntu is.
Well. Duh. Stopped right there.
Obligatory Simpsons reference.
As someone with extensive experience in (*South* !) Korea, I'll note that this whole concept sounds as Korean as eating Corn Flakes mixed with kimchi.
Good luck with that.

Uh, my mistake; this would be the appropriate wiki link: http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Clea...
A small nit-pick: surely you mean " clean room" ?
Besides that, it's a good idea.
Or just use startpage.com.
Hemingway said it best : "Motor racing, mountain climbing, and bull fighting are sports, all the rest are games".
Just as an aside, Hemingway probably didn't "say" that.
... which is why we get impatient when writers don't come out and simply tell us what they're arguing...
How ironic.

Take the computers and fire them into space. That's how you get security.

As opposed to your lazy caps and spelling?
What's that: some kind of reverse "No True Scotsman" ?
I've used Liquid Story Binder (which doesn't seem to be actively updated any more) and Scrivener. They both have ways to keep your facts straight.
I'd also add yWriter to that list: it's free and is written by an actual published fiction writer/computer programmer. Also, it runs in WINE.
