I left ubuntu for xubuntu because the latter needs less resources.

Today I found out xubuntu started spamming me and I don’t like that.

what distro can I use that allows for libreoffice, vlc, tbb, okular, pdfarranger, hexchat, gimp, ocr… with no ads?

    according to the github readme, you can just run sudo pro config set apt_news=false to disable those

    if you have things set up the way you like on xubuntu, it’s maybe worth it to just do that rather than start fresh

      thats just a short term fixes too though. the ads will get more intrusive and annoying. and at some point pro ads will just turning themselves back on. because this is a company and it wants to sell things.
