Free Ubuntu Pro?

Post by cecilieaux »

I fled from Ubuntu when Unity was introduced. Hated it!

Now ... years later ... they're offering Ubuntu Pro free?

Anyone try it? Is it worth it?

On the contrary: Ubuntu Pro can be applied in Mint. Although I only recommend it for a dead or near-dead Mint which you can't upgrade to a supported Mint (for example because you have 32-bit hardware).

And yes, I've successfully tried it:

Hi,

I published a better working hack: viewtopic.php?p=2292591#p2292591

Tested on Linux Mint 20.3, needs to be adapted to other versions.

Regards,

MN
