PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off - IGN
www.ign.com
The PS5 now has an advert system built into the dashboard user interface you can’t disable without disconnecting from the internet.

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…

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

      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.

      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.

          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?

        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.
