It's the first time I've seen an advertisement for Ubuntu. Are they getting ready to get new users dissatisfied by Apple's AI?

Well, it is the year of Linux on the desktop.

Now that everyone is using laptops, it’s the year of the Linux desktop. The old clunkers under our desks are all Linux.

Remarkable then, how that entire advertisement managed to not mention Linux once in its entire 85 seconds of runtime.

Yeh, they don't want to give credit to anyone else, only giving attention to "Ubuntu". Even at the end when it says some literal credits, it only cites Ubuntu "and other open source software" (which is almost undoubtedly Blender). Another example of Canonical's extractive approach to the Linux ecosystem (IMO).

That actually makes a lot of sense. If a companies tries to capture non technical users, telling users what kernel the system you’re trying to sell makes little sense
