Curiously worded ad(?) for Ubuntu Pro in the "apt upgrade" output: "Get more security updates through Ubuntu Pro" I assume this doesn't mean they're withholding security updates for non-paying users. But... what do they mean? 🤔

All of these are EOL? So if you need them and want them without security issues you need to pay. A lot of software vendors do that I think? On Linux you can at least always self compile.

Or use another distro that doesn't feed you this nonsense..

I don't see how no security updates are better than paid security updates

Then you need to pick a different distro that does give you security updates..

Not really an argument. If we follow down this line we end up with RHEL 6 which has paid extended lifecycle support right now, but no free rebuilds that provide the same. Now what?
