Kernel live patch, security updates for packages that canonical doesn’t own/maintain, and access to certain configurations/options like fips

-d is required if you’re on an lts until .1. If you’re on mantic you should be able to upgrade without it

Fwiw you don’t need to cancel or trial anything. Everyone can get free Ubuntu pro licensesbfor up to 5 machines

Fwiw, the steam snap is open source

In another country where this wasn’t relevant perhaps?

Thank you for this! I completely missed this and have 2 stadia controllers on a shelf right now
