PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off (www.ign.com)

Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now...

Edit: Playstation Product Manager says this is actually a new bug. I really doubt it but they do seem to be "fixing it".

Anything but Ubuntu will be perfectly fine. There really isn't that much difference between the major distributions.

Anything including Ubuntu will be perfectly fine. Canonical's shenanigans that us Free Software people like to bitch about are entirely irrelevant to new Linux users.

No snaps are fucking tragic and should be avoided at all costs.

Look, if the choice is "use Ubuntu because it's easy and officially supported by Steam" or "give up and stuck with Windows (or even worse, a console) would you really suggest the latter?

That's just a false dichotomy fallacy.

It was nice to have someone take this stand and I fully support this. People switching over to Linux already have their own stuff to deal with and need time to accustom to their new environment, and forcing them to embibe 'FOSS' philosophy and other strong opinions as held by others in Linux communities is only going to turn them off.

Package manager choice is pretty important, and for that I always recommend debian-based for a pc for a new Linux user. APT is just so good.
