An LTS distribution based on Fedora (and NOT RHEL) is something I've been wanting for a long time, but I don't think this is really gonna be for the non-cloud general use case?
Welp, better luck next time.
- brnt 5y agoSame here. It's not clear to me if this distro is indeed viable for the desktop, and hoe exactly they support the Fedora packages past Fedora lifetime (or whether they'll even supply all of the Fedora repos). A Fedora LTS is exactly what I'm looking for.
- IceWreck 5y agoBut RHEL is based on Fedora. Every X releases Red hat forks Fedora and builds the next major version of RHEL on top of it. So RHEL/CentOS/Alma Linux/Rocky are Fedora LTS.
- rubyist5eva 5y agoBut I can't do direct upgrades between RHEL versions. I want Ubuntu LTS style support but with Fedora and direct upgrades between LTS versions. For what it's worth - I'm currently running OpenSUSE Leap and MicroOS (immutable OpenSUSE Tumbleweed variant) - and they run a nice middle ground, but I still have to do major upgrades for my Leap systems every year or so between their point release updates, which is kindof a pain. I just wish I could use Fedora with ~3 years of support because that's the system and tools that I'm most familiar with (we used CentOS at work, recently migrated to Alma).
