- flatiron 5y agoHonestly if you are using Linux you should be using the distros Java.
- krzyk 5y agoWhy? Distros javas are usually way too old to use.
- flatiron 5y agoI use debian on servers and their Jdk has given me 0 issues I develop on arch and they have a great jdk system as well.
- Seirdy 5y agoAlmost all distros ship at least openjdk-11, and many including Debian have openjdk-17 now.
- krzyk 5y agoCool, but did they had 16? Or will they have 18? I use the newest Java version available.

- krzyk 5y agoIn most environments it is better to use latest JDK release not some old one. LTS is associated not with version number but with vendor that provides JDK. So if you don't pay any vendor then you don't have LTS, you just have a number and hope it is in some way better thant any other number - which is not. OpenJDK has no notion of LTS, they release new versions every 6 months, vendors decide which one of those will be supported with fixes, e.g. Azul decided that their JDK 13 and JDK 15 will be supported with fixes for longer their JDK 12 and 14.
