Ubuntu Pro is a subscription offering for Ubuntu users who want to pay for the assurance of getting quick and high-quality security updates for Ubuntu. I tested it out to see how it works in practice, and to evaluate how well it works as a commercial open source service model for Linux.\n

    Not true. 22.04 is not EoL and it doesn’t get all CVE patches backported unless you’re on Pro.

        From the link:

        Here, the Ubuntu developers roll out in-house universe security patches (additional backports of new patches against historical versions of the packages), which was previously not available

        I’m not sure every package should be considered supported in LTS, so this not being available by default looks ok for me
