Please don’t fucking touch anything to do with Linux Musk. Please.
Crazy, rich South Africans is how we got Ubuntu
But would you like to upgrade to Ubuntu pro?
Ubuntu pro is not at all a bad thing. It's free to consumers but you can also just ignore it if you don't need it.
Can we disable the prompt?
The ssh prompt? I think you just need to mess with the files in /etc/update-motd.d
The prompt on the desktop that says there and pending updates that can only be installed with Pro.
I've been using Ubuntu for about 3, years now on the desktop and I don't know what you're talking about. Where exactly is that prompt? And they're not hiding updates behind pro, it's just extra on top of the updates you'd get on other distros.
It’s free?
It is for up to 5 devices, so small-scale homelab stuff can be covered without cost.
How tf does one do that
Does what? Sign up for ubuntu pro? For that you just need to go to their website and register. For the homelab stuff you could start small - maybe a linux nas with a few VMs for a pihole or something.
Ubuntu is a gateway drug to Arch.
And arch is a gateway drug to NixOS or gentoo
Select your drug now
I smoke my Linux with a filter.
Ah, a Zorin user
I have selected Fedora. Where did I go wrong?
Something something IBM something
I'm an Arch user flirting with the idea of NixOS. Is it too late to save me?
Hes to far gone SMH
I ran nix for awhile and it was super stable, i just kinda got bored of using it. I know its really powerful with nixpills and flakes.
Funny Gentoo actually was my gateway to arch. Loved the customizability of Gentoo and the rolling release model.
But building Chrome and Firefox (I needed both for work reasons sometimes) every update was the nail in the coffin. Switched to Arch and didn't miss a thing.
It's also how we got snap packages and apartheid, and I'm not even sure which of those is worse. (yes, I'm joking)
Could you elaborate on this for those of us who don't know the context?
Canonical, the company that is responsible for Ubuntu, was founded by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth to sell B2B Linux tech support.
Aha thanks for letting me know 👍
Ubuntu
Par for the course
Linux Musk sounds like the evil counterpart to Mint. A fork of Red Star OS, etc.
Linux Musk Cinnamon. Yours for a modest subscription.
I mean Tesla cars are just x86 Linux machines
