Ubuntu Pro is a subscription offering for Ubuntu users who want to pay for the assurance of getting quick and high-quality security updates for Ubuntu. I tested it out to see how it works in practice, and to evaluate how well it works as a commercial open source service model for Linux.\n

    You should probably add to the post that the context of your title is “I want more people to pay for Linux, even if they don’t have to” cause right now it can be interpreted as “Ubuntu now makes you pay for Linux” given the massive amount of disinformation surrounding Canonical and Ubuntu Pro.

      I welcome more paid schemes, such as Ubuntu Pro, as I believe it is beneficial for the whole ecosystem.

        I don’t disagree. All I’m saying is in the current information ocntext your title can be interpreted the opposite way, and many won’t read past the title.
