Yes, one distro (of dozens people use) tried running ads once, it was a PR disaster, and they stopped doing it quite a while back.

  The Unity fiasco wasn't the only PR disaster Ubuntu has had over monetizing Amazon integration: around the 11.04 timeframe they semi-blackmailed Banshee over their integrated music store and added Canonical affiliate links.

  That a bit like saying "Google, one of dozens of browser makers". Ubuntu has 50% market share.

    If you want to be pedantic about it, why not focus on the ads being half a decade ago and not in the past couple of LTS releases?
