Yep, I had no idea until reading this announcement that it's free for 3 machines (or 50 if you're a "community member", whatever that is). I promptly registered and added my home server.

If I had an Ubuntu desktop I'd pay for the first tier of Advantage since it's pretty cheap, but sadly their physical server pricing is too much for home use (225). Maybe they could make it 25 for the first server or two or offer a more crippled tier... dunno.

True, i think virtual Servers and real hardware should be the same price, since pci-passthrue, the driver problems can be "potentially" the same, with 75$ for hardware much more "hobbyist" would happily pay that.

On the other hand...Proxmox.
