Ubuntu Pro is free-of-charge for "personal" users for up to five machines.
Linux Downtime podcast mentioned Ubuntu Pro in Episode 64 (https://linuxdowntime.com/linux-downtime-episode-64/).
In the modern world where we run more and more software from outside our distros’ repositories, how do we know what to trust?
The host, Joe Ressington, said, "I just install from my distro's repos, so I feel safe (though maybe naïvely)." Martin Wimpress, the developer of the Mate Desktop, current Canonical employee, etc., raised an interesting counter point. "Are you installing from the 'universe' repo? Because that's not (as) curated by Canonical. Unless you're using Ubuntu Pro." Various "flavours" can include software from the "universe" archive by default, Ubuntu does not. Generally speaking, the universe archive is community-maintained. Timestamps: 01m10s to 03m15s, with Ubuntu Pro mentioned specifically just before the 3 minute mark. It's a 20 minute podcast.
