I really want to like Fedora but the short lifecycle is, at least for me, unsustainable. I wish there was something like Ubuntu's LTS releases.

  In a way, that would be CentOS ...

  What's the attraction of antique, buggy software which no one is maintaining? If you're responsible for a power station, satellite etc. then OK, better the devil you know than the possibility of a destabilising bug among all the new features and bug fixes. But for your laptop? Tip: use ansible to configure your personal machine. Once every six months you boot into the live media, install, reboot, run ansible, reboot, done. You'll spend more time boiling a kettle and drinking a beverage than fettling a new release, and no more time trying to hand install the latest version of package X on a 3 year old base OS.

    could you point me to some ansible scripts that setup a fedora 22 desktop? Thanks!

      https://github.com/edgard/ansible-edgard https://github.com/edgard/ansible-edgard This is what I use to configure my Fedora workstation. It also has a few roles for other stuff and might seem a little confusing at first, but it's a good starting point, I guess.

  Fedup works well though. I haven't done a new Fedora install since 19.
