From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't have an answer for your question, but have totally hated UI's direction for my use case and business. Do I still buy their APs and switches? Yes...do I wish there was a better alternative, ABSOLUTELY.
I've tried Omada and the interface seems clunky. I wish there was a self-hosted, open source alternative to the Unifi Controller that would allow us to remotely manage self-built or openly programmable hardware.
There's something similar for openwrt, for centralized control
Yeah, Ubiquiti has the "great at most things with a point-and-click UI" market down pat. Although, personally, I don't really care about webapp UIs and such for networking gear. Give me a man page and configuration file, and I'll get down to it.
Here's a small ad block list for your Unifi controller, if it helps: https://github.com/synthead/unifi-adfree
