Ubuntu pro is not at all a bad thing. It's free to consumers but you can also just ignore it if you don't need it.
Can we disable the prompt?
The ssh prompt? I think you just need to mess with the files in /etc/update-motd.d
The prompt on the desktop that says there and pending updates that can only be installed with Pro.
I've been using Ubuntu for about 3, years now on the desktop and I don't know what you're talking about. Where exactly is that prompt? And they're not hiding updates behind pro, it's just extra on top of the updates you'd get on other distros.
It’s free?
It is for up to 5 devices, so small-scale homelab stuff can be covered without cost.
How tf does one do that
Does what? Sign up for ubuntu pro? For that you just need to go to their website and register. For the homelab stuff you could start small - maybe a linux nas with a few VMs for a pihole or something.
