For any Ubuntu users here, are you using the free personal subscription of Ubuntu Pro for ESM patches?

I’m curious how many bother, and how the experience is for home/personal servers.

    I do. I upgrade before the major release goes out of support, so no I don’t get much from it, but I do still get patches from it occasionally. Iirc they released an imagemagick patch before upstream did

    No. I upgrade my Ubuntus before they go EOL so I don’t need ESM.

    Most places that want ESM do so because they can’t get away from EOL versions. I refuse to get stuck in that swamp myself, so I run LTS and migrate/rebuild them when necessary.

    I have enabled this on my private machine, because it’s free and it was asking so nicely.

    I don’t have the same patches on servers at work.

    I’m running Ubuntu on a server. I’ve enabled the free Ubuntu Pro subscription to get ESM patches for the universe repository. Not sure if it really matters, but better safe than sorry.

    I have a few low-stakes servers with Ubuntu so I enabled it, mostly for the kernel livepatching
