Comment on Microsoft is testing full-screen Microsoft 365 ads in Windows 11 for expired subscriptions

I know it's not easy, but make the effort and you'll be rewarded in the end.
Incidentally, if you miss the Windows UI, Linux Mint probably was a better choice for you: it's basically Ubuntu with a Windows-like desktop.

I went with Ubuntu cause name recognition, and I’ve tried it in the past lol. Basically half assed the entire thing.
I’ll check out mint though. Ubuntu feels too much like a Mac OS. Loving how much I’ve had to use terminal, and my 12 and 10 year olds watching in amazement as I look like I’m doing something really complex, but just installing gnome tweaks lol.

No you didn't. If you're new to this, you did your best and went with the most well-know thing you don't know much about yet.
Ubuntu is fine. And I'm sure you've already put a few hours into configuring it at this point, so don't waste the partition. I'm just pointing out - and possibly for others reading this thread - that if you're used to Windows and you like the Windows UI paradigm, Cinnamon (the desktop environment in Mint) might be for you.
You can probably install Cinnamon as a secondary desktop environment in Ubuntu too, in fact, if you want to give it a go. If you install another desktop environment / window manager in Linux, don't worry, you don't lose anything: you're simply presented with an option to choose the one you want in the greeter (login screen).
