Last I heard Linux got some sort of partnership with Amazon and now gather your data and etc so they can show you ads on the apps menu thing... so yeah I haven't used it since

This isn't so much a partnership with Linux itself but rather a partnership with specific distribution developers, namely Canonical (which manages Ubuntu.) With Linux being such an open and low level platform, it wouldn't be possible to do this as there isn't even an app menu at the linux level. I haven't used Ubuntu in ages, however as of late I have been using Xubuntu on older computers. For my home servers I've been using Debian and it runs nicely, no complaints.

Has anyone experienced Ubuntu MATE?

The only Ubuntu I've enjoyed and found useful was Xubuntu. Runs a lightweight XFCE4 desktop and organizes newly installed packages in an almost-start-bar that is quite hella categorized. Its install is also just above 1GB and I can fit it on my smallest thumb drive.

I use Arch running a VM of any OS I'd like. Arch definitely does almost everything I need to do on any of my PC's though.
Black Arch is pointless and goes against the reason Arch exists.

Appreciate your feedback, you've provided some very Informative details.

I was going to Install Black Arch on my VM later this week, but have now decided against It. I'll give Xubuntu a shot and see whether It suits my usability.

Xubuntu fails miserably at anything you want to do as far as hacking or cracking. It is truly about Debian distros, especially #+!!. I have multiple virtual servers running on a quad core i3 at 3.5GHz with 4GB DDR4 RAM and despite the specs, I am able to run these servers with just over 800MB RAM and a 25GB hard disk image and the VPS are all running together simultaneously without any problems whatsoever. Also #!++'s installation package gives you a LAMP install complete with a phpMyAdmin install after SQL has been setup.
It's EXTREMELY easy to simply clone the machines immediately after setting up the stack and just cloning a snapshot and changing the MAC and a few LAMP settings to differentiate from each other.
Each system even has a GUI that can be accessed remotely if a customer wants to manage stuff that way.

I've been using #!++ lately for VPS testing to eventually start a server array for monetary gaining hosting services. It is so lightweight and simple to use and install LAMP stacks on. Debian current build gives you a new upgrade with the actual root distro's upgrade. I can run multiple systems with both SFTP and a GUI for remote desktop on a quad-core 3.5GHz 4GB DDR4 RAM. As I said, the current tester is just to make sure the setups are uniform in performance under microscopic conditions.
A OctaPi setup is the next phase, each machine being an individual website.

Really cool machinery, and cheap to create high powered individual servers, OR 2 VPS's per Pi. Deciding. Testing. Damn I'm tired.

That's a rather wierd switch, most people use Ubuntu or Linux mint at the start, and work on from there. Rarely do people switch to them.
