Basically, "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" but in Linux flavor. The best part of Linux is this is totally avoidable (less so if you're in a strict corporate environment where Ubuntu is the only option from IT)

  From your link, I can see it's $25/year for a desktop computer, or $150/year with phone a ticket support. Where does those $500 come from? But also, I read here the other day you can get a free Pro subscription for personal use, on up to 5 machines.

    $500 is for a physical server.

      Ok, I thought we were talking about desktop computers, as the guy who posted this was using Ubuntu in a desktop.

    The default option for me— server with unlimited VMs— is $500/yr.

    Ubuntu pro offers support for Ubuntu universe, which is almost 20,000 packages. None of the other distros you listed offer support for rpmfusion, which is the equivalent to Ubuntu universe. If you don't use Ubuntu universe, you end up with just less support compared to the RHEL side.
