    If it didn’t jam snap down your throat, I’d maybe take a look.

      Yeah. That’s why I switched to Mint a couple of years ago.

    Eh. Do they still have Ubuntu Pro ads in the update UI? If so: stop, then I’ll care.

      I sometimes see it in the CLI when running apt update/upgrade. I’ve just tricked my mind to look past it.

        …it’s a paid subscription service that the base os nags you to upgrade to?

          It’s a free security upgrade that the os gives you the option to use. There is an enteprise version that includes technical support, but that is an extra addon.

          There is no fee for personal use.

    Better to use Kubuntu edition, much better desktop and less crap that is nowdays in Ubuntu.

    As much as I don’t care to use Ubuntu anymore, I will always be grateful for giving 15-year-old me a comfortable and easy transition into Linux. Hard to believe that was 20 years ago, I think I still have one of the CD-ROMs they used to mail out somewhere.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
