Everyone is just using Ubuntu for free of charge for the most part. You get what you pay for.

On another note, you can probably easily install the Debian kernel onto your machine.

"But we need signed kernels!" Well, that's a big "I told you so" from the people that were against only a handful of distros being able to create signed kernels with MS derived keys like 15 years ago.

Having to get the client into call just so they go and click authorisation for adding some signing keys on VMs (as it was in pre-boot stage) just to add some driver wasn't fun

What an awful system

You get what you pay for? Honestly this is so very disrespectful of the work thousands of people have and continue to put into Free Software including all Linux distros (Ubuntu too) as well as other operating systems and software. Really really disrespectful.

That ignores those paying for Ubuntu Pro. They are not getting what they paid for.
