Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone
woelkchen@lemmy.world 6 months agoYour comment is hilarious because Ubuntu placed ads for Amazon in the equivalent of start menu way before Microsoft even had that idea. Ubuntu now displays ads for Ubuntu Pro (or Premium, whatever the name is) in the terminal. Ubuntu is the Windows wannabe of the Linux world.

Thankfully I stay away from the terminal whenever possible and I started using this thing after the ads from Amazon were no longer a thing xd

In other words, you hide your head in the sand, like many Windows users.

I just use the GUI since I already wasted six months learning how to use the terminal during 2019. It lost its ‘magic’ after I wanted to just use my conputer

That’s honestly cool. Doesn’t negate the fact that Ubuntu has a history with ads in various places. Just because you choose not to look at places where they are, doesn’t mean they aren’t there. I could use Windows without ever opening the start menu. Doesn’t mean the ads don’t exist.

Lol, or we just use the computer and don’t cry about stupid bullshit

Except that it’s not stupid bullshit. It’s like saying “just suck it up and accept the fact that your TV will serve you ads and track you.”
