This may be kind of a dumb question, but would it affect Mint in any way if Canonical were to reintroduce ads? I know Mint's a fork but I'm not sure how integrated that part of the OS is.
It wouldn't be worse than snap integration which Mint already doesn't use. Also Mint have a backup plan called LMDE if things go sour.
I always got this feeling that LMDE will eventually become Mint's main distro, with the Ubuntu-based version slowly fading away.
Probably not as the Mint Team would either not be affected or they would have a cow.
When snap came out the Mint team got pissed and started maintaining the packages removed from Ubuntu
