I didn’t feel targeted or offended. It was indeed a joke at the possibility of getting a moral freeride because OP was forced to, due to their country being delisted
But i guess i never will. Just yesterday i needed an ftp client. I went to the software manager to down had it and realised it was already preinstalled.
If that was the case they would add a step in the installation giving you the option to have no preinstalled apps and choose between currated apps based on your expected use for this pc.
I dont argue that its a great service. I am slightly opposed on it being a forced option
