Canonical has released Workshop, a new open-source tool to create reproducible development environments with a single command. Using YAML files, the same development setup can be reproduced across different hardware and devices, reducing dependency headaches and configuration drift.

When I wrote about the new “Ubuntu Pro” section in Ubuntu 22.04‘s software settings panel I said the banner wasn’t a nag screen or a desktop notification but something you had to go out of your way to see. Not so in the latest daily builds of the Jammy Jellyfish. Upon login today I was greeted by a desktop notification asking if I ‘want to enable Ubuntu Pro?’.
