Can someone explain to me why the fuck I should pay for installing packages that are available in other distros?

WTF Ubuntu???

    It’s free for personal use. It used to be a paid-only service to let you get 10 years of security updates (LTS support is usually only 5)

      Right, it’s premium support for corporations that want to stick with a release past its normal expiration date.

      The labor required to perform that maintenance costs money, and honestly it’s shit work that you’d have to pay me a lot to convince me to do.
