    Right, but if you’re after the level of “stability” that Canonical is offering, where are you getting it for free?

    Fedora, Alma Linux, openSUSE Leap, LMDE,…

      They’re giving you 10 years of updates on those packages for free? I know Alma is from Tux Care but that extended support comes at a price as well. Leap is two years. LMDE support ends soon after the newest version. Fedora gets 13 months after the newest version I believe. Maybe I’m wrong on some of those but none of those come close to the free support canonical provides on LTS or Pro.

        Leap is two years. LMDE support ends soon after the newest version. Fedora gets 13 months after the newest version I believe.

        And they do that without requiring anybody to sign up for a Pro plan. Ubuntu ships unmaintained software to people who don’t sign up for Pro. That’s a fact.

          Wrong. They merely stop supporting it when a new version is released, just like everyone else. You can skip Pro and get the same experience you get with any other distro.

            Wrong.

            I’m 100% right.

            You can skip Pro and get the same experience you get with any other distro.

            And that’s where you are wrong. Fedora etc. ship package updates for the entire support cycle. Ubuntu only for Main. Universe is left without formal support. Fedora etc. have no problems shipping updates. I already explained it to you. You just don’t understand.
