    Damn, and people complain about Windows …

    I bet if they could have added pictures to this ad, they would have.

      You haven’t seen the best part yet. They’re holding back security updates, if you don’t do this whole Pro-shit. I really don’t know how much pot their executives smoked to get that awful idea.

      And like, to be fair, for personal use, you can get Pro for free, so you ‘just’ need to create an account to get a secure OS.

      But yeah, you basically don’t really hear people complaining, because we simply don’t use Ubuntu. Plenty better Linux distros to choose from. I only know this shit, because my work laptop unfortunately comes with it and I’m not necessarily allowed to change it.

        Security updates for packages that are so old that they aged out of official support.
        Who determines how old a package needs to be before they start charging money for it?
        Well they do, of course.

        Tune in next year when they turn off free Snap patches.
