I got a ThinkPad with Ubuntu 24.04 preinstalled and I haven’t seen a single Ubuntu Pro ad. But I saw them a lot on my old laptop with 22 installed. So either they’ve changed their ways or I suppose it’s possible Lenovo has preconfigured some settings.
Pretty sure my work laptop tells me every time that I’m not getting some security upgrades, because I’m not using Ubuntu Pro.
I believe, there’s some semi-reasonable justification, that they’re only holding back upgrades for packages which they wouldn’t normally maintain anymore, but yeah, it still looks horrendous from an end-user perspective.
Just on LTS. Desktop users would only run LTS for 6 months or so. Right, and LTS only releases once every two years. I used LTS on my work laptop at my previous company. Great feature, but I can see it wouldn’t be as necessary for the end users. Hey, when everything is great, women have to find something to nit pick, am I right?!
Is it really like that or is this a joke
Last I used Ubuntu you do indeed get an ad every time you apt upgrade You can still go into some config file and remove it though
When was the last time you used Ubuntu though?
Some people could say “last time I used Ubuntu it was full of Amazon ads!” But that would have been like 13 years ago
I’m an ubuntu user and it was like that for a brief period but then they removed it after an uproar. I think. I double check it once I’m at my laptop

Edit. 24.04 LTS
It’s LTS only. If you moved off of LTS, you wont’s see it again.
