>Debian has relatively short support.
Then make it longer. The debian team is starved for volunteers and would love to have more long term maintainers.
- g15jv2dp 2y agoSorry but that's an asinine reply. The people looking for the support are busy doing something and looking to pay a company for the support. If they had the time to volunteer for support, they wouldn't be looking for support themselves. You're the one touting Debian out of nowhere, you can't ask the people you're talking to, to volunteer to make your point better.
- bayindirh 2y agoThere's Freexian (as in company) if you want: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Extended https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Extended
- rahen 2y agoHow good are Freexian / Debian ELTS compared to RHEL for their 10 years support and security fixes? Are they cost effective? https://www.freexian.com/lts/extended/docs/cost-estimation/ https://www.freexian.com/lts/extended/docs/cost-estimation/
- llm_trw 2y agoThe people wanting to pay for support can absolutely move to rhel with no pain what so ever.
- dralley 2y ago>The people looking for the support are busy doing something and looking to pay a company for the support I mean, if they are using CentOS, apparently not.
- szundi 2y agoWhat an inside out reasoning
- kwertzzz 2y agoSo we want: 1. free/gratis Linux distribution 2. long support (~ 10 years) 3. not needing to contribute (as a community) It seems that we can only pick two from this list (even a distribution with short support cycle needs community).
- freedomben 2y ago"what would a grad student know about the real world" is seeming like fair analysis given this.
- llm_trw 2y agoUniversities aren't the real world and I was right about redhat.
