Have to use Windows for work (I’ve asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification… That’s clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

One of the reasons you shouldn’t be using Ubuntu. Not one of the reasons you shouldn’t be using Linux.
Use debian for your linux servers then

Debian is perfectly fine. At one point it ran something like 50~60% of all web servers. And they’ll never pull the rug from under your feet!
CentOS is dead.
AlmaLinux lives though…
For now.

Stream defies the point of CentOS, it was supposed to be a rock solid server, not something on the bleeding edge.

I’d never run a production environment that requires HA and FT like that. But, I run Windows as a desktop environment, so we we all have our own thing :D

isn’t Redhat killing CentOS?
is there any other Fedora based distros worth mentioning? just go with plain Fedora.

What else did you expect from Microsoft Linux? They’ve been taking notes from the best for some time now.
That’s the problem with corporate Linux.

Jesus Fuck Ubuntu
That link isn’t working for me. What is it?
An ad that appears in the console when you log into ubuntu server
Who the hell installs Ubuntu on a server?
Who the hell advertises their MacOS software in the console of linux of any type?
I mean, you can see who.
Ubuntu is the most popular operating system across the major public cloud providers.
What the hell happened with Debian? Or is this some commercial support based scheme from Canonical?
That’s probably the big thing, companies like having enterprise support
It’s $500/blade/yr for 10 years of security updates for unlimited VMs. Hard to beat, even with the recent price increase (I think it used to be $299?).
Landscape and kernel live-patching are also useful, as is ADsys.
Even without paid support, the two-year LTS cadence is a good balance between bleeding edge and stagnant stability. Debian doesn’t follow a fixed release schedule; and RHEL is so bare-bones and out-of-date that you need EPEL just to make it useful.
Is that real? I’ve seen the Ubuntu pro ad in the terminal, but never anything like this. (Not saying the Ubuntu pro ad is ok. I need to migrate my server)
Yeah, Ubuntu has been consistently pissing me off. Just not enough to go distro hopping yet. The worst part for me is that apt now tells you that you are missing some security updates to temp you into buying whatever their service is. Great, thanks. Maybe I’ll try KDE Neon or Pop! OS soon.
