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.
