Linux on desktop is just a solid workhorse. My 13+ years laptop is chugging along happily with Ubuntu and my Windows8 10+ years beefed up desktop takes 10 minutes to start and 5 minutes to open a browser and basically a broken mess of security holes.
- ogogmad 2y agoWhat about the 6-monthly and 2-yearly forced upgrades? How are you faring with those?
- prmoustache 2y agoforced? how?
- Aachen 2y agoI imagine they mean security support, but are overlooking LTS somehow
- prmoustache 2y agoAppart from LTS most distros still support the n-1 release until the n+1 is released so in reality you can always do a double upgrade once a year. But ultimately it is a moot point as major distro upgrades are barely different than the regular security upgrades. There are just more packages upgraded at once.
- myth_drannon 2y agoIt's not forced, but it's a trivial upgrade if you have a basic setup. I also have a desktop where I do some hobby AI development and once in a blue moon, Nvidia drivers would break the system because of kernel upgrades.
