Why make it difficult to find how much it costs?
The page at https://ubuntu.com/aws says "From $0.001/hour", but I can't find any more information about it. How expensive can it get? Here in the Marketplace it says it's "Free", but is it really? Or just AMI itself and not the license? Blog post can't make it's mind about how much it costs, keeps going back and forth about how easier it is to calculate. But where are the prices?
Why do companies have to make it SO difficult to find CLEAR information about pricing?
Best out there for dev
It really helps for corporate dev environment as OS is not something people like to change easily.
Ubuntu works best for most of the devices but sometimes it fails to deliver drivers for some. I couldn't find anything new in Ubuntu Pro regarding that.
I am also a developer.
Easy to setup and have more reliability
Not just for tech ners, its for everyone
2. Its really not much resource intensive, you can run it on hardware from 2000s, with minimum specifications.
3. Powerful and functional for development.
4. Support for codecs like LDAC (can be installed) for better audio compared to Windows etc.
5. You wont miss windows or MacOs that much.
