You're biased. Win 11 doesn't have third-party ads of any kind, unlike iOS's app store, for example. It was always news, videos etc. Recommended content. Moreover, ubuntu famously had an Amazon button on the home page, yet no is going around touting "Linux is riddled with adware".

I looks like Ubuntu was created just in order to be able to dismiss Linux as "riddled with adware". It's just a single distribution out of a hundred, and far from the best, so it's completely wrong of course.

  >I looks like Ubuntu was created just in order to be able to dismiss Linux as "riddled with adware". Yes of course it was. The only reason. Delusuional. You think some conspiracy created Ubuntu so people can point to the Amazon thing?

    You missed the joke, and you still don't get that Ubuntu is not the whole of Linux.

A wild strawman appears! But seriously, it isn't 3rd party ads that GP was complaining about. That said, if the OS is aggressively pushing recommendations for their first party news, videos, and search engine, and every one of those things shows 3rd party ads, I don't think that single step removed absolves win 11.

> Win 11 doesn't have third-party ads of any kind, This is flatly untrue. It preinstalls Spotify, Disney+, Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, and a tonne of other tools. A list with screenshots: https://www.digitalcitizen.life/windows-10-bloatware/ https://www.digitalcitizen.life/windows-10-bloatware/ If you want to argue that preinstalled links to 3rd party websites, prominently displayed in the Start menu, do not count as "ads", then you are acting in bad faith and your arguments can be dismissed. A bundled link to external properties is an advertisement.
