   1) Ubuntu Pro is free for regular users where you get up to 5 active   
   instances which gets you latest patches and extended version support for   
   older releases. $$ is targeted for companies where Canonical does make   
   their money.

   2) If you go the "personal" Pro route, which is not bad IMHO, the signup   
   is for how you manage the 5 instances of Pro. The only "tracking" is   
   each machine get a unique token that is queried to get the Pro updates.   
   No adverts.   
      
   3) For desktop users they have User Friendly documentation directly   
   accessed    
      
   CLI they figure is for servers and not newbies, but it also is freely   
   accessible searching the documentation   
      
      
      
   Find "System Files Ubuntu CLI cheat sheet"
