  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.

    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.”
