Not surprising, they want some of that RHEL money. When you choose a Corporate distribution, enshittification is usually what you get…

You’ll get 5 free instances if you get a subscription, but that kind of messes with the whole “just install Ubuntu from a USB key and use it with no hassle” workflow many Ubuntu users used to love.

I subscribed to pro with a throwaway email so I’m okay with it generally speaking.
But 5 instances is not enough, not even for home personal use. If you’re running VMs for other tasks, you quickly hit this limit.
- Ubuntu desktop
- kubuntu VM for yarr
- xubuntu VM for testing questionable programs
- Ubuntu on raspberry pi
- Ubuntu in AWS
I donate to Ubuntu annually but I’m at the point of foregoing that donation if I need to subscribe to their subscription model.
