this never happened before, it's also not happening ion my backup computer (same OS, xubuntu 24.04).

Message: get more security updates through ubuntu pro with esm-apps enabled, learn more about ubuntu pro

How do I get rid of it.

Ubuntu never advertised itself so blatantly.

they should have included the security patches from the get-go

I dont know how Ubuntu does that stuff, but universe is community supported only. It is required for many normal packages, so yes you could say their service is not good enough but hey, its free Software.

If you dont pay a cent you have like nothing to complain

I'm very unfamiliar with Ubuntu, so I apologize for my ignorance. Is universe their AUR, COPR, OBS? I thought that PPAs were Ubuntu's user repository.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 3 points 6 months ago

This is what I dont understand too. No, it is for regular packages, not random 3rd party stuff.

Those are made on Launchpad and available as PPAs, originally meant to be the first step, followed by having them approved to Ubuntus repos.

So, would it be fair to say that their packages suck and they're desperately fundraising money through ads in hopes of fixing it?

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago

No. You are using a stable Distro. This is how stable distros work.

If you want upstream updates for all packages, use a rolling or semi-rolling release like Fedora, Arch, OpenSUSE, Gentoo, etc.

But Debian does get security updates backported, right? Like, is Ubuntu actively preventing you from getting these?

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 months ago

I dont know how many packages they share but this seems very unrealistic.

Debian and Ubuntu have different release schedukes and package versions.

[-] yala@discuss.online 2 points 6 months ago

True. But Debian Testing and Unstable do exist. Which should be primary candidates for where Ubuntu gets their packages.

Disagree. Trojans are totally free, and I feel I have plenty to complain about there.

What Desktop do you use with your Trojan?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
