So Ubuntu has this model where they pretty much freeze package versions for an Ubuntu release after release, and then they only backport security updates from upstream. There's nothing new here, most distros do it this way. The idea is that this way they can polish the gazillions of package versions

    I subscribed to pro with a throwaway email so I’m okay with it generally speaking.

    But 5 instances is not enough, not even for home personal use. If you’re running VMs for other tasks, you quickly hit this limit.

    • Ubuntu desktop
    • kubuntu VM for yarr
    • xubuntu VM for testing questionable programs
    • Ubuntu on raspberry pi
    • Ubuntu in AWS

    I donate to Ubuntu annually but I’m at the point of foregoing that donation if I need to subscribe to their subscription model.
