    This may be kind of a dumb question, but would it affect Mint in any way if Canonical were to reintroduce ads? I know Mint’s a fork but I’m not sure how integrated that part of the OS is.

      Probably not as the Mint Team would either not be affected or they would have a cow.

      When snap came out the Mint team got pissed and started maintaining the packages removed from Ubuntu

      It wouldn’t be worse than snap integration which Mint already doesn’t use. Also Mint have a backup plan called LMDE if things go sour.

        I always got this feeling that LMDE will eventually become Mint’s main distro, with the Ubuntu-based version slowly fading away.
