It is a "Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS"

When I installed it I count on that "LTS", but I see now the server is not secure, and to secure it I have to pay 500$ per year.

Not happy!

Should push a lot of people towards Amazon Linux

5 licenses are "free" for Personal Use

Which does not help since it refers to my job (with >200 Ubuntu instances, btw, excluding dockers), personally I am in Fedora.

It was me to tell my customers to move their fleet from Centos 7, to Ubuntu: a big mistake: I'm mad and pretty embarrassed: I should have avoided it, but at the same time I feel I had to receive signals of this coming from my sources (HN included :( )

The era of companies being able to piggyback on "free as in money" long term support distros with corporate backing is ending it seems.

The era of distros with corporate backing being able to piggyback on volunteers (either by individuals or companies) is ending :)

Anyhow long life to Debian, Rocky, and the many other distros which are not taking that path
