  1. Ubuntu Pro is free now for personal use

  2. You’re paying for extra support. This is nothing new. This is how FOSS makes money outside of begging for donations.

So basically they’re following the redhat model? OP made it seem like something very different…

Except Red Hat has slightly different model with the different distributions. With Canonical the Ubuntu Long Term Support version has 5 years support and you can opt for 5 years more. This extra 5 years is free for personal users and businesses up to 5 devices.
