I wasn’t trying to imply that Ubuntu has longer support than windows, only that it doesn’t constantly make breaking changes. If you want you can use it and update once every five years and have a fairly stable desktop.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoSure, if you don't count all the software that no longer has a package in the latest version's repo and therefore is no longer available. Oh and whatever features GNOME decided to remove this time.
- michaelmrose 5y agoSo don't use gnome and switch to something that isn't abandonware
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoSo, deal with things changing all the time. Exactly the thing we were trying to avoid with this exercise.
- michaelmrose 5y agoI think in 18 years exactly one piece of software I wished to keep using has died an untimely death and it was impractical to keep using it.
- wbsss4412 5y agoI suppose I don’t have enough experience because I stick to the latest LTS. I agree that the Linux desktop has its shortcomings, but I still feel that it would be a great option for plenty of people who default to windows today. Especially if they spend most of their time in the browser as it is. I’ve been a happy Ubuntu user for several years now and I’m not a tinkerer or anything, though I am more technical than the group we have been talking about.
