all you have to do to block ads on linux:
there was that one time Ubuntu added ads to the search menu tho
well ubuntu is a shit stain in linux world anyway
I'm planning to shift to mint. Any problem with that?
LMDE and don't look back.
Use EndeavourOS
i messed with eos, it's alright. I had some problems with the mirrors breaking, to which the solution to fixing the broken keyring trust was "untrust the key, and forcibly install it" which i didn't really like. Other than that it seemed ok.
Run the eos updater tool and it takes care of all of that for you. The broken mirrors isnt an actual issue either since there's redundant mirrors on the mirror list I believe
oh believe me i did, it was fucked. The problem was that the keyring for EOS was out of date, and since i hadn't updated in long enough, there was literally zero chain of trust for that keyring to be updated somehow. So i had to forcibly update it.
I tried a variety of things, including updating eos mirrors iirc, nothing worked until i fixed the keyring lol.
nah it's still good. I do prefer fedora myself though, but that's just a preference
ubuntu isn't real and doesnt exist.
And even then, all you would have to do is just stop using ubuntu. Which given the lifespan of a linux user, is a pretty normal occurrence.
