Jesus, and I thought this was a tech enthusiast board. You literally sound like my mom. She complained about the ads too, then I spend a few minutes cleaning it up for her and now it's fine.

Do you happen to be a baby boomer?

Use the app store. It's there for a reason.

an OS shouldn't even have the capability to show ads, whether or not you can opt out.

That's why Gentoo is the best OS because if it never gets installed then it can't show ads ever.

First, you can always op to not install such adware. Second, these software offers such adware in order to get profits. And third, that actually it is a good thing, try to find free Closed Source software in Linux.

why would you want closed-source software though
there's no reason for software to be closed-source unless you intend to fuck over your users somehow

Because it is good quality software? Hey, I can write a good looking document using Libre Office, but I can do it better and faster using Word.

> there's no reason for software to be closed-source unless you intend to fuck over your users somehow
Replace your tinfoil hat, I can hear your thoughts. Companies and organizations choose to nee Closed Source in order to get competitive advantage or to prevent someone else forks their software and loss potential sales.
