what OS should I use instead of xubuntu?
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.

Just use Debian. Why use the inferior downstream distros when you can go right to the OG? You are already halfway there.
Debian doesn't have a corporate sponsor so there is no risk of getting spammed or giving someone your personal information.
There is a reason there are tons of Debian distros. They all make a difference.
They do have corporate sponsors. It just that the corporate sponsors do not want to see ads anymore than you do. They are have strong community leadership that is powered equally.
