    It would be the end of C4, ITV and C5, if the BBC took ads, so it won't happen

    To make it a subscription it would have to be much more expensive than the current licence fee just to meet it's PSB remit, or offer much reduced service. Nor will it take ads because it would decimate the commercial PSBs. The TVL will either continue as is or they'll just give up the pretence...

    Room 101

    It's essentially the same installer as Ubuntu uses, so not sure why that's the case. Linux Mint, or Zorin OS which has an simple appearance app that will theme the OS to look like Windows or MacOS to help new users to transition to Linux, would be my recommendation, for relatively modern...
