Like if you are contacting support by email you are giving them your email address and they kinda need it to reply to you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] deadcade@lemmy.deadca.de 13 points 1 week ago (1 child) Ubuntu Pro requires users (both individuals and enterprises) to register with Canonical to receive security updates. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] helvetpuli@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 week ago (1 child) You get security updates without Ubuntu pro. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 child) Extended updates past the normal eol permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EvergreenGuru@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 child) Makes sense. You’re asking them to make things more secure, which requires logs to know what’s going on. Additionally you’re paying for a security service instead of upgrading to another version to get free updates. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago* The logs part doesn't make sense to me, tbh, but not having to upgrade does. I had an old laptop on lubuntu 16.04 LTS for a long time with extended security updates, because the next LTS had higher system requirements. Sure i could have found another lxde/lxqt distro, but it worked great on lubuntu, and for the low price of $0 i could avoid needing to do that. I guess their business model is to let people try it free on their personal machines, and then get the Munichs of the world to pay for this kind of extended security support. permalink fedilink source parent [–] cavitationfetishist2@quokk.au 7 points 1 week ago (1 child) Nah.
