        It may of pissed a lot of people off. Yet people wonder why I have such a strong dislike of Ubuntu.

      Yep, Unity DE had ads. Then people revolted and Canonical eventually got rid of them and also switched to base Gnome with some extensions.

      It definitely happened, I saw it in real time on my install of Ubuntu. But they learned their lesson on this one, I feel.

      Not sure why there are some who think this is still a thing, though.

      Side note: I’ve not run Ubuntu as my desktop OS I’m quite some time, opting instead for Garuda as of late and have seen no ads thus far :)
