This is why Linux Mint is better. It is Community-Maintained with maintainers all over the world. It would be very difficult to actually push this AI crud or enforce Identity Verification if anyone can remove it. Companies like Canonical (the ones who owns Ubuntu) can always be paid off or forced into compliance as they are the centralised power to convince or go after. There is really no reason not to use Linux Mint when it is basically just Ubuntu without Canonical's shady practices. @itsfoss
