From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ubuntu desktop version, it's slow and buggy and the devs push ads and snaps and other crap.
I never saw an ad in Ubuntu.
Really? It's even in the apt update command when you update your system.
Stuff like this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1434512/how-to-get-rid-of-ubuntu-pro-advertisement-when-updating-apt
Been running Ubuntu 22.04 for the last several months and have yet to see anything resembling an ad. I guess it prompts me why there's system updates every fe days to a week or so. But I'd hardly call that an 'ad'.
Must have to do with the fact that in the meantime I use nala more often instead of apt.
