From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They also show ads in the MotD on Ubuntu server.

So what's the misinformation again?

The interpretation of this line. Calling this "ads in the package manager" is intellectually dishonest in my opinion.

How is that anything other than an ad in the package manager?

If you want to be nitpicky about it, you could consider it to not be an "ad" because its not a company paying to put that text there. It's Ubuntu promoting their own product. But I don't think it makes much of a difference in this case, since it's a big annoyance either way.

I'm certain Canonical paid someone to put that message there

Yup, that's pretty nitpicky alright. Requires ignoring the basic definition of "advertisement".

Calls facts "misinformation", refuses to elaborate.

Talk about intellectually dishonest.
