When upgrading system with sudo apt upgrade I'm getting the following message:

(..)
Get more security updates through Ubuntu Pro with 'esm-apps' enabled:
(..)

I know it's a paid service that can be used by up to 5 hosts/systems for free if it's for personal use, but I don't want to use it. I don't want to get more security updates and in addition, I don't want to see the above message each time I run an upgrade.

There are hacky way to do it

But if you want to remove all 'pro' services then just uninstall ubuntu advantages package:

sudo apt remove ubuntu-advantage-tools

In result pro command with its esm hook will disappear from you system:

$ whereis pro
pro:

$ type /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf
-bash: type: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf: not found
