Hello from Montreal, Canada I have been a Fedora user for about 20 years. In all that time, it was known that the frequency of Fedora updates are as you described. However, I just want to remind you that when a new release of Fedora is published, that Fedora also provides a utility (a dnf release upgrade) that will perform the necessary changes to easily move you to the next Fedora version, In the past, for very long periods between upgrades, there was available "Centos". Centos was used for servers and for desktop applications that were "frozen in time". Open CentOS is no more. Perhaps you should explore using RedHat and/or CentOS for your very long-term needs. Fedora is a community distribution generally targeting single independent users or families, where we Linux devotees look for product improvements along with good stability, and in return, we report technical issues hat are encountered and often, solutions or work-arounds. Some of us use Fedora as a home-server, supporting the family needs.
In closing, as a community edition, Fedora is not meant to be supported for more than 18 months, beginning from the date of release of that version. I wish you well in your search for a long-term solution for your needs.

This is good for development and new features implementation. But it is not good for stability and sustainability. When upgrading the system every 6 months, alot of resources will be trashed!! For Fedora users and Fedora itself. It will be more stable, effective, natural-friendly and feasible if we make Fedora lifetime as: - One year between releases. - Two year of release lifetime.
