The Raspberry Pi 5 now has a teeny UGreen USB external audio interface that just plug and played with #Ubuntu LTS 24.04. Superb!
I have Mullvad up and running as well. Nice.

@muhkayoh I really wish for more #CreativeSoftware to support #Linux as #finalcutOS aka. #macOS becomes more and more #enshittified like #Windows and I'd rather bite the bullet and pay for #RHEL / #SLED / #UbuntuPro #subscriptions instead of having to deal with #Apple's "my way or the highway" attitude towards Hardware (regardless of all the valid criticism towards #nvidia just to name the elephant in the room)...

Cuz for #devs it was very convenient to target #CentOS and test against it since it's basically identical to #RHEL - minus the commercial support - which also drove adoption of #RedHat's distro.
- Similar to how in many cases #OpenSUSE allowed most of the devs targeting #SLES & #SLED to get away not having to buy many machines and how the only.difference between #UbuntuLTS & #UbuntuPro are #Landscape, #ESM repos and getting 10years of paid per annum instead of 5 years free security updates.

@jascha Ich würde jedenfalls eher für #UbuntuPro oder #SLED zahlen als #Microsoft365 / #Office365...
Spouse and I are on an LTS version of Ubuntu and started to get the "Ubuntu Pro" button on the Software Updater window a few days ago. Since I'm not interested in a subscription, I started looking for alternatives; for the moment, I "upgraded" to an interim release (which they made harder by not displaying the upgrade button anymore; CLI to the rescue), though it was a two-step process: first to 23.04, then again to 23.10. Still reinstalling things that I unsnapped (like Firefox) but aside from that it wasn't so bad, just tedious.
At least now I can take my time before moving to something else - plain Debian might be my eventual choice as I've recently installed it on another machine.
Continued thread
I'm running #Ubuntu on my server but I'd like to move away from it. Was thinking of #Fedora server but I'd like something that isn't all new and just works, maybe I'm doing it a disservice. I was thinking that might be #CentOS but I've now caught up on that big palaver.
I used to love #Arch when I was younger but I have kids now and can't devote the energy to it, I just want a stable OS to run #Docker containers on that's easy to install and doesn't shove #UbuntuPro or #Snaps down my throat.
If I buy a license of Canonical ESM for Ubuntu Focal how actually realistic is it that in 2030 it will in fact still be safe and secure to use as an internet-connected desktop OS?
Also, what would it cost me for a single license for an individual? I can't seem to find details that actually pertain to my situation
I am genuinely considering doing this but would be remiss if I said part of the reason weren't on principle just to spite #RedHat
I've been using it in beta for a few months.
Will you use it on your systems?
