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 <url here>

How do I get rid of it.

Ubuntu never advertised itself so blatantly.

I got rid of it by signing up for Ubuntu Pro. Doesn’t cost me a thing and keeps the security updates coming in.

How does signing up work? What do they ask in terms of your data (email, name, address, more)? I tried finding out myself but their website misbehaved for some reason.

It’s been a while but I’m pretty sure it’s just an email for the Ubuntu One account. Haven’t ever gotten any junk mail from them so I don’t even remember which email I signed up with lol

iirc it’s from ubuntu-advantage-tools - you can remove it, but it’s set as a dependent for something important (ubuntu-minimal?) which makes it really annoying. I don’t use ubuntu anymore so hopefully someone who knows more will stop by.

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.
