From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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

How do I get rid of it.

Ubuntu never advertised itself so blatantly.

package ubuntu-advantage-tools is not installed, so not removed.

I can however remove ubuntu-advantage-desktop-daemon, together with apturl: common and apturl software-properties-gtk.

Should I?

Ah - that's all I had to do to solve it on Ubuntu server 22.04. Maybe desktop is different, maybe 24.04 is different. You can try removing additional packages or following other instructions. I won't post any links here, as I see different possible solutions and haven't tried any other than the one above. Let us know what works.
