Yep, Unity DE had ads. Then people revolted and Canonical eventually got rid of them and also switched to base Gnome with some extensions.
It definitely happened, I saw it in real time on my install of Ubuntu. But they learned their lesson on this one, I feel.
Not sure why there are some who think this is still a thing, though.
Side note: I’ve not run Ubuntu as my desktop OS I’m quite some time, opting instead for Garuda as of late and have seen no ads thus far :)

I mean...
They have GUI system upgrades, this is kind of a pain in Debian
Okay, now I updated 12 laptops from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 and...
- it always hangs at "swap deb Thunderbird with snap", like, always. 12 times.
- the wallpaper is gone after the upgrade, every single time
- there are like 10 buttons to click
- you need to be a sudo user (the updater shows but just vanishes when being a nonsudoer!)
- on 2 machines some random repo issues caused a silent error. Needed to
apt update
in the terminal, fixed - there are tons of snap packages, and all are outdated, yay! Installing those on a sudo account causes them to fail on the nonsudo account.
Damn this is bad. And this is like, the best of the best distros?
Doubt that. Fedora Atomic has way more potential, while only being user friendly as uBlue.
29 0 ReplyEvery couple of years I think to myself "Ubuntu can't be that bad, can it? I must be misremembering. Surely it's just some combination of my memory exaggerating how terrible it was and my lackluster Linux skills, which have since improved. Everybody still recommends it as a beginner distro, right? Why'd I stop using it?"
And then I download Ubuntu.
And then I remember.

Ubuntu is very much NOT the best of the distros anymore.
I’ve been using Kinoite on one of my daily drivers, and so far I’m loving it.
11 0 ReplyI mean I could list you at least 5 things that kinda suck on Fedora Atomic. But yes the core principle is so much better.

You can install Synaptic in Debian. Problem solved? I love the terminal so this isn't really my fight but you could spend some time to make Debian GUI-based if you wanted to.
Also LMDE exists, which Mint-ifies Debian and gives you a GUI option for basically everything you can imagine.
8 0 ReplyMultiple reasons why this is not a good option.
- no fwupd
- no flatpak
- still requires sudo
- mint uses XOrg and is very limited
