I'm more surprised that Mint is being suggested at all in this. Considering how ridiculous this list is in the first place, the 'curator' should have noted that Mint, by default, installs search engines that are partnered with Mint[1].
Even more surprising is that BSD just got a cursory mention. You may as well switch to OpenBSD if you're going to switch to a majority of these alternatives.
I've added a note about Mint's search engine policy, thanks.
Also, BSDs will get greater emphasis in future updates. I'm working on a way to promote more operating systems without the page getting even more overwhelming than it already is.
