He though that new widget with all the advertisements was really nice, and was on the way to thank whoever cleaned his system removing 3/4 of the items on the start menu.
I’d say that’s where you took a wrong turn, but really it was installing Ubuntu in the first place. I’ve given nameless crackheads a dollar that I trust more than Canonical.
It comes with almost all new laptops, and a key you can easily find for 5€ online.
It is basically free for anyone, except businesses.
You can just buy the N version instead, which does not have any of the advertisement or bloatware, as instructed by the EU. But then you will have to pay a bit more.
You’re still paying for it. The price is just hidden from you in the total of the laptop but you’re still fucking buying it.
An OS shouldn’t have ads. Period. Especially one that isn’t free, enough with the idea that ads being everywhere (and the privacy violations that come with it) is fine or normal, it isn’t and it shouldn’t be.

Hum, no, there are no ads on the start menu. They are all on the search widget and at the one near to the notifications.
But yeah, you can remove them if you find the option. They are hidden enough to guarantee most people won’t.

It is patently ridiculous one time.
You remove them and they will never return.
But the Linux community really likes to rave on about it as if it is the worst infraction since the holocaust. Just look at this comment section.
The fact remains that OP used Windows for 45 minutes without even noticing. So it is really not that bad as many of you claim it is.

No that does not happen with the ads. Those only appear during a fresh install and can be clicked away in a matter of seconds.
The only thing that happens with is sometimes Edge and recently the search bar once.
MS deserves hate sure, but not the unwarranted hate some of you have here in the comments.
I think it’s pretty warranted. Why would you put ads in my OS in the first place? It’s not a free OS either so no excuse to put ads on it.

Yeah but irrational anger because Micro$oft bad is easier and gets more upvotes
