20.04 is literally the latest LTS version of Ubuntu. Windows 7 is TWELVE YEARS OLD. You're analogy is garbage.
On top of that, I've run the auto updater that comes with the GUI (does more than sudo apt update).
If that isn't sufficient to use 4 year-old bluetooth headphones that are older than the OS, and FireFox to watch Netflix, it is far, far worse than Windows. Look, I really want this to succeed, but be honest, it's far behind Windows and Mac.
- heavyset_go 5y agoI didn't make the comparison because of its age, but because it's a version of Windows that came before 10, and I forgot Windows 8 even existed. Fill in Windows 8 or 8.1 or whatever for Windows 7. IMO, your average desktop user's use case isn't served well by an LTS if they plan on using relatively recent hardware, peripherals or software. LTS desktop releases suit Canonical's corporate customers' needs well, though, which is why they were released in the first place. A distribution that uses up-to-date software suits most use cases. Bluetooth headphone support is something that bit me in the past, as well, but it's an issue that was solved with PipeWire. Ubuntu 20.04 still uses PulseAudio.
