YEP. For various reasons, we want to run Ubuntu on a server. Reboots and autoupdating are hazards and bugs for us. Upgrades & fixes mean patching our containers and starting fresh servers. Instead of rebooting a running server, we delete it. Trying to use Ubuntu environments means having to add custom disable-reboot-upgrade-downtime init scripts that we do not trust across updates: will bumping a minor version break them 5 days later? Super bad for reputation. I rather be updating Ubuntu more frequently, not less!
(Same-but-different for enforcing non-interactive mode on installs.)
- m463 7y agoIt's unfortunate that they don't realize they're alienating the very customers that have money and will be in it with them for the long term. The idea with LTS is to be predictable and stable. Put another way: - desktop people want ALL UPDATES NOW. - server people want NOTHING TO CHANGE EVER. (yes, not exactly that, but kind of)
