Ubuntu seems to have lost the plot a bit adding things like advertisements for Ubuntu Pro.

This kind of nonsense is one of the things that people hate about Windows.

Also adding extra garbage into CLI sessions is something that I greatly dislike because 1) it's very irritating and adds unnecessary noise and 2) it can break scripts. Some non-Canonical offenders include GNU parallel and Apple's xcode CLI tools. I don't like how vim includes political messages either, even for causes that I might otherwise support, simply because it is distracting when I want to concentrate on getting work done.

Aside from the part where you can explicitly `:help uganda`, I can't fathom what you might be referring to.
