Xbox users booting up their console today were greeted with a large splash screen prompting them to buy it now that the new campaign is out, and some of them aren’t too happy about it.

Depends. All it needs is some big distro to ad remote-loaded-image automatic backgrounds to the lock screen, and there you are. Whenever that image swaps to an ad, you’d have it on your lock screen, too.
Don’t misunderstand the ability for advanced users to disable or swap something (because this is trivially disabled on Windows, too) for an inability of companies or even groups of non-commercial volunteers to make shitty user-unfriendly decisions.
But developers are never going to implement something so fucking stupid because there’s no c level dickbag directing the programmer drones.
I agree, in my experience it’s usually some higher up making these dumb decisions. It happens to video games daily
Just because it “could” happen doesn’t mean it will happen.
Also if that happens then you chose the wrong distro
It would definitely never ever happen, only maybe a little bit, but really it’s just a plug, which is like not an ad.
For although this sentence is technically advertising something, in this case Ubuntu Pro, the offering itself is free for regular users (on up-to five devices). Thus, it’s not like this is an “ad” that generates Canonical revenue. It’s more akin to a public service announcement to raise awareness.
You’re reaching quite a bit far with that one. MOTD has been a “thing” in multiuser Unix since inception.
