Ubuntu Pro is a subscription offering for Ubuntu users who want to pay for the assurance of getting quick and high-quality security updates for Ubuntu. I tested it out to see how it works in practice, and to evaluate how well it works as a commercial open source service model for Linux.\n
TIL as a normal Ubuntu user, you don’t get quick and high-quality security updates.
You do, but not when your distro is EoL and not with livepatching to avoid reboots.
Not true. 22.04 is not EoL and it doesn’t get all CVE patches backported unless you’re on Pro.
Huh, that was hidden deeper than I like. https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security
