> Fedora has a release every 6 month which laughable honestly Not to nitpick on the phrasing, but I find laughable grating. Are you aware that Fedora supports two releases at a time? You get a year of support for newer software. The ancient kernels on Ubuntu are 'laughable' at times. There are real benefits to newer kernels (and userspace), particularly for consumer hardware. It's not all good - there are quirks too. Point is, everyone has different priorities - and while LTS leans to stability, it also imitates "long term stuck". I've been watching this bug for years: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firewalld/+bug/1835188 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firewalld/+bug/183... 18.04 is going EOL very soon if not already, so this incompatibility between their releases of iptables and firewalld will never be fixed. Enjoy the stability from an upgrade. Wonderful 'support' for a clear distribution defect. I close with this: not all old software is stable, nor new/scary. It's hard thankless work, and such widely painted brushes are unhelpful. There's nuance to the nuance.
