The Ubuntu Pro ads and this release have all come at an interesting time... Fedora and the stock Gnome eco-system are getting better and better... Debian voting to include non-free software. Google is using Debian for things these days, Steam switching to Arch... For myself, I'm now using OpenSUSE MicroOS (immutable root OS, everything else is containerized with Flatpak or Toolbox/Podman, repos based on Tumbleweed) and it really feels like the future (Fedora Silverblue is very similar). I thought that would be the direction Ubuntu takes but now it feels like Ubuntu is in some weird zone where lots of things are snaps, lots aren't, they're pushing Pro services with ads, it's getting more enterprise-y but they're also pushing containerized Steam, etc... That being said Ubuntu's always been a good experience so I'm sure it'll be fine but the direction they're taking is rather curious...
