Windows Latest recently reported that Microsoft is showing new ads on #Windows11, including one for #BlackOps 6: Vault Edition and another for the Microsoft Defender app (the cross-platform version), which requires you to use #Microsoft365. In a statement to Windows Latest, Microsoft confirmed that these β€œnotifications” were indeed served to users.

In the past you used to pay for proprietary software not to get #advertising and today it's the other way around.

#Wubuntu: The lovechild of #Windows and #Linux nobody asked for

source:

Wubuntu removes some apps that are common to most official #Ubuntu flavors, sometimes replacing them with a more Windows-like alternative, or sometimes several alternatives. It also adds fairly significant additional components. In some places, it goes to considerable lengths to be familiar to folks who only know Windows users; in others, things are unmodified from the standard #KDE or #Kubuntu behavior.
