Everything has problems; you have to choose which problems you're willing to live with. For me at least, ads in an OS is simply not acceptable.

- pjmlp 3y agoI guess that also makes Apple, Google and some Linux distributions not an option as well.
- prmoustache 3y agoNot too hard to live without them. I am curious at which Linux distributions are showing ads to you? I have yet to see one doing that.
- pjmlp 3y agoUbuntu, Red-Hat, SuSE. Assuming the HN definition of ads, where any kind of service promotion is shown.
- prmoustache 3y agoI've only ever seen the terminal on ubuntu and rhel machines in recent years so that must be the reason. At least they haven't started polluting our bash profiles.
- pjmlp 3y agoUbuntu terminal apt will gladly show ads for Ubuntu Pro subscription, as an example.
