this never happened before, it’s also not happening ion my backup computer (same OS, xubuntu 24.04).

Message: get more security updates through ubuntu pro with esm-apps enabled, learn more about ubuntu pro <url here>

How do I get rid of it.

Ubuntu never advertised itself so blatantly.

    Man… At this point we really should actively be telling people to stay the hell away from Ubuntu. This is some M$Windows levels of sneaky and borderline malicious behavior.

      Ubuntu/Canonical is the Microsoft of Linux distros. It’s no surprise they were the choice for WSL.

      Ubuntu has been forcing decisions on users and embedding advertisements for a long time.

      Examples that immediately come to mind…

      • When that Amazon search was embedded into the app launcher search.
      • These sorts of self promotions.
      • Quietly installing snaps instead of debs when using apt install

      We are tho, like basically every thread about Linux has at least one comment warning people.
