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?

      Would you mind elaborating?

      I’m aware that MX works on a lot of excellent GUI tools that are shipped with it. Which is great, but perhaps necessary; because they ship a systemd-less distro. Which, in the end, might cause more work than it should. (I’m aware this is in part caused by software just assuming that systemd is installed by default.) And while I think it’s a noble endeavour to maintain a relatively easy systemd-less distro, I don’t think it’s enough to justify a recommendation to a relatively new Linux user. Would you mind sharing your thoughts on this?

        sysVinit is only the default, it comes with systemd as well.

        The tools are useful no matter the init system, and make life easier, especially for beginners.

        In essence MX is just Debian with tools to make desktop use easier.
