I cannot believe this for a moment. ChatGPT really does not let you call it anything close to names. It is ridiculous actually. Reddit is slightly more lenient than ChatGPT.
Same for Xorg. And Wayland, really. No idea how people get so many issues. Just change distro, or DE, in the end of the day, it doesn't take long. Small changes make small differences.
I see many ads and irrelevant results in the App Store regardless. So much so, that at some point said "why don't I turn on personalised ads, since I am seeing all this trash anyway", and it turned out it was already on. So I cannot really imagine how this will change things.
In my last job we had some memory issues with the build, many times I ended up running out of memory, trying to build the huge Java monolith that was the stupid "product" we made. Automagically, the issues were resolved to a decent extent when switching from GNOME to XFCE, in Ubuntu 24.04.
There is still some use for lightweight even in today. You make better use of your memory/resources in some application, than in something so fundamental.
A list of some curation, possibly, but that has too many products to be one person's work, with affiliate links to Amazon US. There have been worse promos in here, I guess.
