From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Unfortunately, the required steps to rid your Ubuntu (non-pro) system from this and other forms of advertisements are a lot more involved than it has any right to be.
Or, perhaps, consider another distro.
Man... At this point we really should actively be telling people to stay the hell away from Ubuntu. This is some M$Windows levels of sneaky and borderline malicious behavior.
Ubuntu/Canonical is the Microsoft of Linux distros. It's no surprise they were the choice for WSL.
Ubuntu has been forcing decisions on users and embedding advertisements for a long time.
Examples that immediately come to mind...
apt installWe are tho, like basically every thread about Linux has at least one comment warning people.
