this never happened before, it’s also not happening ion my backup computer (same OS, xubuntu 24.04).

Message: get more security updates through ubuntu pro with esm-apps enabled, learn more about ubuntu pro <url here>

How do I get rid of it.

Ubuntu never advertised itself so blatantly.

    Ubuntu/Canonical is the Microsoft of Linux distros. It’s no surprise they were the choice for WSL.

    Ubuntu has been forcing decisions on users and embedding advertisements for a long time.

    Examples that immediately come to mind…

    • When that Amazon search was embedded into the app launcher search.
    • These sorts of self promotions.
    • Quietly installing snaps instead of debs when using apt install
