@sirber @jon tbh, they were already pushing that in W8. it's why i switched to Linux back then, only to find out Ubuntu is being colonized by Micro$$$oft and have been adopting a lot of their fuckery.
had to shut down wifi on all computers i installed 20.04 so that i would properly "skinny" install from an USB. w/wifi, it calls back to Ubuntu servers for a lot of the non-essential ish. it stalled all my installs.
haven't upped to 24.04 yet because am seriously considering moving to Debian.
@blogdiva @jon I can't stand Ubuntu. I love Fedora. It's up to date and shit free.
Debian should be nice too, but packages are a few majors behind. For a server, it might be ok, but for a desktop, it's not.
