Get Linux for free, still don't get ads.

Ubuntu not only came (or still comes?) with an Amazon app right on the launcher, but also offered Amazon product suggestions when you were using the search function.

Not true [1]. Ubuntu is full of recommendations for non-free / malicious "snaps" and has telemetry (opt out + remove a few packages).

Ubuntu does not define Linux. There's plenty of other, well-maintained distros.

I wouldn't expect a thoughtful reply, tobyhinloopen seems to be trolling all over the comments here.

All over? I placed like 2-3 comments that can be considered “trolling”

Pretty much everything made by Adobe and Microsoft (but I can sort of live without the ones from Microsoft). Honestly, if Adobe made a Linux distribution as part of Creative Suite (which I would think wouldn't even be hard for them to port to Linux) I bet they could make a strong running taking over the desktop operating system market.

I'd like to see a way of installing applications that isn't needlessly restrictive. Something like AppImage, only actually used.
