I have to manually remove ads from the Ubuntu server motd.

  What is the motd?

      Serious question. How comes I din't get any of those on desktop? And never did?
      - Un1corn 4y ago
        I'm pretty sure MOTD is only shown on server installations
      - fathyb 4y ago
        It gets displayed right after logging in, either directly through `login` or indirectly through something like SSH. If you're using a desktop environment that's likely the reason: the message is hidden by your DE, and starting a terminal emulator does not cause a login. You might be able to see it by switching off your DE and logging in manually through the virtual console.

        You won't see it on a graphical session. If you ssh into a server (or remotely onto your pc) it will get printed. Or switch to another vitual terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F8) and log in, and it should print whatever is in /etc/motd

      At least it is probably not one of those dumb MS tabloid ads "Bill Gates hates this one weird trick!" Jokes aside, that would make me switch to Debian immediately.

  Yeah, there are several reasons why I don't recommend Ubuntu to people. That's one of them. Although, admittedly, it's toward the end of the list.

  I've got one about Ubuntu ESM in Linux Mint - but only in virtual consoles

Fedora, too. The only distro that worked perfectly on my Thinkpad. Ubuntu didn't find the fingerprint scanner. Definitely not Debian if you're suggesting this to first timers.

  Curious of PopOS would be able to use it out of the box... Thinking of switching in the next LTS cycle from Ubuntu Budgie.

It's very hard to beat Debian. I've been using it for 5+ years and it's such a pleasure. The stability combined with an excellent package repository made converting windows people very easy.

Not until modern app sandboxing is the default. Your weather app shouldn’t be able to access your microphone or photos (for example) until the OS asks you to allow it access always, once, or never. People are making good progress on this, but you don’t get it with a default Ubuntu or Debian install yet.
