  • I upvoted the post. I just meant to express my absolute lack of surprise at the situation or the news.

    Yes, it’s news and yes it should get attention, and lots of it! It’s just not at all surprising that mega corporations want to protect the status quo that got them to where they are, whether we like it or not. Nor is it surprising that they will absolutely do everything they can to make us believe what they want us to believe. A few years ago that might have sounded super ‘tin-foil-hatty’ and this story might have been bigger news, but I’m not sure that’s the case anymore.



  • Oh wow that’s a great explanation, thank you! I have a bit of experience with Ubuntu and a fraction of that with Debian but absolutely no experience with any other Linux distro, so I appreciate your reply!

    I run Ubuntu Server for my home lab and had a RaspberryPi running Debian for a short while as well but it was all CLI so I have almost no experience with the GUI. I was quite surprised to hear about pop ups for Ubuntu Pro.

    I personally found setting up Debian for the Pi to be fairly straight forward and about as difficult as converting an old windows laptop into an Ubuntu Server…server, so they might have made Debian a bit easier to get up and running.

    That being said I can’t recall if I got that particular installation specifically for the Pi so that might have an impact there.

    I genuinely appreciate your explanation! :)
