No, we need to get Canonical in on the action. 3 way brawl to the death!

Canonical has its own issues. Security updates to packages being put behind a paywall called “Ubuntu Pro” even during the LTS window is driving people away from Ubuntu right now as well.

Tbh, just stop using software well past it's prime, or pay the cost of developing the fixes.

Everything can't be free, at some point it's gotta cost something.

Not everything is a "fuck you pay me" relationship. Being a dev who for years built a tool used by people on the daily, the entire thing was a labour of love and I was glad others used and improved it.

I'm sorry you were raised so mercenary. American?

If you want more info look here: https://ubuntu.com/security/esm

Imagine if you were trying to keep compliance and suddenly a security update was an ESM package found in the Universe repo? To get that update installed you’d have to pay Ubuntu Pro for each host you have.

They have a personal license like how Red Hat allows some licenses for personal use so if you have a few home machines it’s fine. But if you have a job that has a fleet? Not a fun time to suddenly need to pay for updates even during LTS window.

Hell, I've got probably 15 systems between vms and phy boxes at home.
