I found out that xubuntu spams users including me, which to me is a no go.

I’m looking for a linux based ad free distro that lets me work with libreoffice, vlc, tbb, transmission, okular, pdfarranger, hexchat, gimp and ocr.

I’m going to use it to edit text, watch movies, download multimedia, chat and edit audio with audacity.

it’s not going to be a server and I’d like to work with the terminal as much as possible. At the same time, I’m a newbie.

    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.
