    3. burn iso to usb stick (ventoy!)
    4. install on pc
    5. install ublock origin on firefox
    6. done

    edit: despite what people will say, ubuntu is still a rock solid distro. Alternatively, tumbleweed is brilliant too.

        I disagree. Native packages are still a bit more hassle-free, but snaps have gotten really good by now. And you can do some things that debs can’t, like setting up an entire nextcloud installation with a four-words-long terminal command.

      You don’t need a dumb TV, just switch the input. If your TV shows ads when connected to other inputs, yeet that TV out of your house today.

        Disconnect it from your network. Hard to serve ads if it can’t contact the servers it is pulling them from.

          Got a new TV a month ago. Fucked up and connected it to wireless, no idea what I was thinking. The only way to kill the connection (from the TV side) was a factory reset.

          Windows is like that now. Once you enter an internet connection, you’re screwed. No way out but a full reinstall.

          Yup, working on setting up VLANs so I can keep the stuff I like (DLNA from the NAS) without the stuff I don’t (ads).
