This is true, the difference is that your not forced into feature upgrades, you can stay with an LTS 5 years if it works for you.
Second difference is that upgrades will take less times and reboots.
There is also a risk that stuff will not work better after the upgrade.
- Tsubasachan 8y agoThe Windows equivalent is Enterprise LTSC. Its not available to the common public though.
- simion314 8y agoThat is unfortunate, why not have a Home edition that is an LTS, only security updates, less chances of bricking computers or deleting user data. I know MS hated that people were using XP and not buying Win7 but they exaggerated by pushing updates like Chrome browser does.
- Tsubasachan 8y agoBecause MS knows nobody wants to pay $€200+ for an OS anymore? They are giving away win10 practically for free. MacOS is free. ChromeOS is free. Windows had to evolve as well. Paying for software is the past. If MS did commercially release Enterprise LTSC it wouldn't sell. Instead it would just encourage piracy.
