I’m running Ubuntu on a server. I’ve enabled the free Ubuntu Pro subscription to get ESM patches for the universe repository. Not sure if it really matters, but better safe than sorry.

I do. I upgrade before the major release goes out of support, so no I don’t get much from it, but I do still get patches from it occasionally. Iirc they released an imagemagick patch before upstream did

I haven’t tried it, but the live kernel updates feature is what intrigues me the most.

I’ve tried it. Can’t really see much difference from not using it. As others have said, being a personal user you’re not much of a target - being smart about what you run on your computer has much more of an effect on security.

In the future I probably won’t bother

I have a few low-stakes servers with Ubuntu so I enabled it, mostly for the kernel livepatching
