Unity UI, Ads in the OS, paid subscriptions, Snap, partnership with Amazon, etc, etc, etc.

At least 15 years of nonsense.

Wait what, I haven't used Ubuntu in a long time. They have ads like Windows???

They run ads in MOTD IIRC. Haven't used it in 15 years but I've stumbled on a lot of drama over the years.

Apt-get shows you ads for Ubuntu Plus or whatever it's called

Also the "Try minikube" or whatever in the MOTD. Not certain, haven't used ubuntu in a long time
