I think his comments like "if you have it in your fool head we should pay money for it" says that he expects it for free.
I also think if the products he produces need 15 year support he should choose operating systems that provide that, for example QNX comes close. Instead he chooses to complain about a OS that have never ever promised anything like this and that he can get for free.
- crabbone 3y agoThis has been shown to be bullshit times and again, but people keep repeating this as if it was a valid argument -- why do you think author or anyone else has a choice of an operating system they can install? Based on LTS policy? Really? On what planet do you live? We don't live in a world with infinite supply of interchangeable operating systems that only differ in one interesting characteristic. For most software products out there there either isn't a choice at all, or the choice is between bad and worse. But this isn't even the point. Someone, well, a group of people, made a decision about how long the support for the system should be. OP believes they were wrong. Telling them to try a different system solves nothing, even if that worked for them. The conflict is still there: someone made a bad decision, even if OP no longer actually needs to rely on their decision, it's still bad.
