I found out that xubuntu spams users including me, which to me is a no go.

I’m looking for a linux based ad free distro that lets me work with libreoffice, vlc, tbb, transmission, okular, pdfarranger, hexchat, gimp and ocr.

I’m going to use it to edit text, watch movies, download multimedia, chat and edit audio with audacity.

it’s not going to be a server and I’d like to work with the terminal as much as possible. At the same time, I’m a newbie.

    Nobody said Arch yet? The wiki is very comprehensive so you can get by if you’re a newbie plus learn a lot.

    If you want to work with the terminal as much as possible, it’s a decent choice. I only start X/my graphical environment if I need to do non-writing/non-coding activities.

    You may need a day to configure wifi, Bluetooth, your de/wm of choice, etc., but if you use Ethernet & just install xfce you should be able to hit the ground running.
