This is false. Debian provides LTS with a 5-years timespan. [1]
And there is even commercial support for Extended LTS now [2]
Also, it's worth noticing that Debian provides security backports for a significantly larger set of packages and CPU architectures than other distributions.

- tmoravec 6y agoGood catch, I stand corrected. But the point still holds - five (or even seven) years is still not match for Red Hat.
- antoncohen 6y agoDo you trust Debian LTS? As much as RHEL? The documentation about Debian LTS always made me think it is not a fully fledged thing. I've always felt like Debian releases reached EOL on their EOL date, not their LTS EOL date. > Debian LTS is not handled by the Debian security team, but by a separate group of volunteers and companies interested in making it a success. https://wiki.debian.org/LTS https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
