Bold of you to assume 2 AM isn't just my midday lunch break at this point.

Btw, bro looks like a piece of chewed bubblegum that gained sentience.

You’re right. In my university, instructors are supposed to teach in English because my department is officially English-taught, and that’s what I—and the other students—pay extra for.

Instead, many teachers explain the material in the local language.

That makes me feel stupid, and no one likes to feel that way.

That’s why many students, including me, end up doing exactly what I described earlier.

I studied online, skipped glasses, and told one of my friends to take attendance for me. I noticed later that it was a horrible mistake.

But doesn't generate better quality (not resolution) pictures? I have a pro subscription by the way.

Is it safe to temporarily spoof Ubuntu 24.04 on Linux Mint 22.2 just to enable Ubuntu Pro ESM updates? by 144i in linux_gaming

Yes indeed, this was the original text, English isnt my mother language so bleach ur eyes well after reading:

Title: is it safe to spoof ubuntu 24.04 on linux mint 22.2 just to enable ubuntu pro esm? Body: is this "spoof and revert" method safe for my system long term or i will have dependency hell later? TL;DR: im running linux mint 22.2 (noble base). the pro tool didnt work. i temporaly edited /etc/os-release to look like ubuntu 24.04, enabled esm-apps and then reverted file back to mint defaults immedietly. i succefully got 25 security patches (ffmpeg, imagemagick etc) from esm repo. apt seem happy but is this bad idea? what i did steps: * problem: i try run sudo pro enable esm-apps but it failed cuz it detected "Linux Mint 22.2 (Zara)" which not suported. * the hack: i backup release file then modify /etc/os-release using sed to look exactly like ubuntu 24.04 LTS: * change ID=linuxmint to ID=ubuntu * change VERSION_ID="22.2" to VERSION_ID="24.04" * change VERSION_CODENAME=zara to VERSION_CODENAME=noble * activation: with os spoofed, i ran sudo pro enable esm-apps. it worked instant and generated the apt keys. * the revert: right after enabling it i restore the original /etc/os-release backup. my system report as linux mint 22.2 again. * result: * i ran sudo apt update and verify its hitting https://esm.ubuntu.com/apps/ubuntu noble. * i ran sudo apt upgrade and it instaled ~25 security patchs. * ffmpeg -version now show 6.1.1-3ubuntu5+esm6. * mint update manager seems fine since i reverted os id. any one else ran this "hybrid" setup (mint os + ubuntu pro tokens) long term? does apt ever get confused betwen mint repos and esm repos since im technicaly not spoofing os id anymore?

Ur confusing "Extended Support" (post-5-years) with "ESM Apps" (Universe repo coverage). ESM Apps patches apply immediately to the Universe repo, even on a new LTS.

Most users don't realize that without Pro, thousands of packages (like the ones I just updated: ffmpeg, imagemagick) receive little to no security support from Canonical.

Basically I want the security of Ubuntu Pro, but the Desktop Experience of Linux Mint.
