Is this just a title and a picture? Am I missing the details somewhere?

OP calls Ubuntu Pro ransomware. That's all.

Ah, thanks. Luckily the Linux ecosystem has is healthy with diversity. We can always use other distros.

Oh shit I see. I think the joke is that you only get some of the security updates if you pay for ubuntu pro. Ransom as in "Be a shame if you were insecure there little buddy, we can help with that. For a price"

Yeah I don't know enough about that personally to make a judgment

Is it ransomware when it's free?

Isn't Ubuntu Pro basically just an extended support for a set of universe packages for their LTS versions and free for private use?

How is making enterprises pay for extended LTS because of corporate no-update-just-insert-coin mentalities even remotely close to ransomware?

Like I get everyone who doesn't like Ubuntu for various reasons, but this sounds completely dumb to me.

fyi

"Personal

Anyone can use Ubuntu Pro for free on up to 5 machines, or 50 if you are an official Ubuntu Community member." ubuntu.com/pro

not trying to be an apologist, its stupid, but you can still get 10 years of security updates if you want
