Happened to me! Even with me taking efforts ahead of time to prevent the new firmware download, it somehow snuck through. I finally got so fed up with their BS because of this, I got rid of the hp and bought a Brother. Brother workin flawlessly, and I can rest easy knowing it will just print shit when I need it to and not try to extort cash from me to do so.

It’s the containerization causing this imo. I also host nextcloud on bare metal and it’s quite stable

Customized gnome with pop tiling manager iirc. It’s a pretty good mobile experience compared to default gnome.

Running this distro on my laptop for its great window manager. Good stuff!

To answer your questions - users such as this bring something more valuable than ad money. They bring data. Google harvests data and metrics on users in a million ways, packages this up, and sells it for considerably more than they make on ads. In free services such as this, YOU are the product.

Ads suck, nobody wants to watch them, and they simply represent google maximizing shareholder value at every opportunity, as they are legally bound to do under American capitalism. YouTube ads are not a critical revenue stream that will make or break them.

Dell XPS is good, they even have one which ships with Linux pre-installed. So, no worries about driver compatibility, at least on that version. In fact I believe this is the laptop presently in use by Linus Torvalds, fwiw.
