    Ubuntu is actually falling down the ad hole lately. It’s not great, even if you leave out the technical issues that the distribution leans into these day (snaps, amongst other things)

        In the system update dialog, you’ll see something like:

        You’re not getting 53 critical security updates! Join Ubuntu Pro to keep yourself safe!

        Ubuntu Pro is a subscription service.

        This is seriously at the level of Norton “AntiVirus”, and it’s truly absurd and nakedly predatory.
