I've been following this thread on the Mint forum but it's gone off track like they usualy do there. Recent updates have added an opt-in for pro on my Linux Lite 6.6.

Previously Ubuntu did not provide security patches for "Universe" repo packages (instead relying on upstream patches to happen when they happen). The Ubuntu security team are now producing in-house security patches for these packages, but only where Pro has been opted into (which is free for personal use).
Will opting into pro cause any issues with my system i/e live kernel patches etc?
