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 nowā¦
Edit: Playstation Product Manager says this is actually a new bug. I really doubt it but they do seem to be āfixing itā.
Anything but Ubuntu will be perfectly fine. There really isnāt that much difference between the major distributions.
Anything including Ubuntu will be perfectly fine. Canonicalās shenanigans that us Free Software people like to bitch about are entirely irrelevant to new Linux users.
Look, if the choice is āuse Ubuntu because itās easy and officially supported by Steamā 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 āFOSSā philosophy and other strong opinions as held by others in Linux communities is only going to turn them off.
