Ads were already there for years - for Facebook, TikTok, Candy Crush, and who knows what else.
I would say this is embarrassingly unprofessional, but the truth is this is just normal these days - normalized by Facebook and Android - and I'm just old and used to better software.
I switched to Linux the same year they appeared.
Ah finally, Windows and Cheap chinese android phone have something in common. Ads in their built in ~~bloatwares~~ apps.
Don’t worry, I’m sure there will be “pro” version that you can pay extra for no ads.
This isn't an ad, it's a suggested result from one of our partners
Linux never looked so good!
Or templeOS.
agreed. Now is the time to visit the linux community and figure out how to get started.
100% agree been using Linux for 15 years and will never stop plus once you learn everything there is to know about how Linux works if something breaks odds are you can fix it yourself or report it with logs faster if you contribute your self as well.
