Free for personal, but you know how Canonical gets
@KAutumnrain heh--I've only been running this a couple years, so still learning I guess.
Reading this: https://www.howtogeek.com/902519/what-is-ubuntu-pro/ I see that you're right that I could go ahead & enable the 'pro' in settings & get these updates w/out shelling out, which is cool.
But I'm wondering if this means I should move on to the next long-term-supported version of ubuntu? I wonder if I could do that update w/out completely wiping my system...
@rpardee
I think there's a setting you can tweak that keeps you on LTS versions, additonally. As far as I remember, it should be a simple version upgrade, no wipes, but ymmv with advantage/pro in the mix.
I'd recommend a testing VM or something to make sure, though, but I'm curious as well so I may do the same and report back.
@KAutumnrain ah, interesting. I no se habla VMs really. But I did google this up which looks convincing:
