And if that’s not enough, you can just make a second account to get another 5.
And if the whole concept of getting extra security updates for packages that are out of support really bothers you, you can dummy out /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf
I’m not opposed to Canonical’s monetisation model. I think charging for extra updates and packages is fine as a way to make money. But I can understand why people don’t want advertising in their operating system, though I personally think that a simple line of text showing up on my terminal following a flood of package-fetching and script-running results is tolerable.
Oh wow, I didn’t know that. Thank you for clarifying.
However I have to say I’m not necessarily against self promotion as companies and organisations have to sustain themselves but advertising your service every time the user updates or upgrades is way too much compared to KDE’s once-a-year donation request for example (that can be easily disabled).
On another note I have experienced BTRFS and have seen the light, never returning to ext4 😭😭
I also was annoyed first like ew what the hell is going on here but then subscribed and it was absolutely free no ADs no sms. The style they choose to announce it is still weird tho
I can’t make an account, because I can’t complete a Recaptcha. Google Recaptcha is used on every ubuntu.com signin page. (This means I also can’t submit bug reports.)
Usually it’s this, but sometimes the Recaptcha doesn’t even load (looks like an IP ban). I just submit the form, and then get an error message saying I must complete a Recaptcha, but there’s no evidence in the page of any Recaptcha to fill out.
I’m on a residential ISP. I’ve checked every IP address reputation system I can find, and see no problems (except from “Clean Talk”, but they’re so small that I doubt Google uses them).
Also, I hate knowing that I’m doing unpaid labor to help train an AI that will make the world a worse place.
Ubuntu Pro is free for up to 5 machines.

I’m already gone if I have to make an account to run an OS on my hardware. Fuck everything about that.
You don’t.
We’re discussing Ubuntu Pro.

Canonical makes plenty of money through corporate partnerships without needing to muddy the basic user experience.
Ubuntu pro Costs handing over your Data to a company.
And if it Bothers you that a company actually supports the packages it is making availible…
No, Ubuntu pro brings faster Security updates, even for still supported apps.
An email address. That’s literally all they ask for. And they accept disposable emails. You don’t have to hand over anything.
… and live kernel security patches, removing the need to reboot out of schedule.
I’ve paid $$$ for that in commercial settings. Getting it for free is actually crazy.

It’s just the LTS version, most desktop users don’t run that. Just 6 months out of two years probably.

Why can’t you complete a recaptcha? I totally understand not wanting to (I have Ublock Origin block them myself). But can’t?
