Ubuntu pro joke related to another thread - not the best image post sorry 🙈

Do feel it is designed to scare normal users though.
Like how the GUI software updater now shows a list of security updates, and then “there are more security updates available with Ubuntu pro” in the list of updates…. the obvious implication is “you’re computer has other known vulnerabilities that can only be fixed if you pay up”.
Liiittlle bit ransomey and let be honest that’s by design.
Wouldn’t consider myself part of the anti canonical pitchfork crowd but that new behaviour did irk me somewhat.
If Microsoft did that people would be up in arms. Appreciate canonical provide Ubuntu is free but normal users wouldn’t get that nuance as they don’t think they pay for windows.
For those also wondering (and I’m quoting a comment on Ars so may stand corrected…):
Isn’t this a violation of the Geneva Conventions?
Only if used to deliberately target infantry. The videoed operations so far seem to have been intended to burn away protective cover (trees/brush), which is a permitted use even if there’s a risk of inflicting casualties as a side effect of the application of incendiaries.
Agree they’ve being easing their way in for a while. My point was specifically about advertising within the content itself which would be a new line crossed.
Edit: actually yes they did do this with Apple News didn’t they! (Which is why I stopped paying for it).
Content advertising isn’t “on brand” for Apple, so this would be a bold move.
That thumbnail tho 🤤
I’ve had some luck with Ubuntu, I’ve made my “notes” public in case it’s of use to you!
I’d started with bootcamp (windows) to add another bootloader option then went from there. Most of my docs go from there.
You ever get the webcam working? I’ve tried the patjak stuff and can get the device detected but alas no /dev/video
I managed to get it working under Ubuntu following this trail https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux#intel
Blacklisting the amd GPU caused Linux not to boot however…
Docker too obvious?
Very nice!
The thing with teams is that they had it pretty much nailed ~2 years ago, but decided to keep going.
I have an intel device, not an ARM one.
Though I would love an M2!
What device are you intending to use, you mention you’re using macos so I’m guessing Apple hardware?
Just thought I’d share my experience with pop on my MacBook in case we can help each other 😂. Basically I was dead set on pop but couldn’t get it to install for the life of me - the installer showed my disk as being a fraction of the size it was, even exfat volumes created by the installer. So I had to shrink other os petitions like crazy so I could trick it into thinking there was enough space.
There was no option to encrypt the disk in the installer and it didn’t play nice when I created my own LUKS container.
After several hours of trying to beat it into submission I ended up using Ubuntu’s legacy installer and was up and running in 15 mins.
So yeah if you are using Apple hardware and get pop playing nice please share any tips :)
How does the image scanning compare to docker scout? (Or whatever the docket desktop one is called).
