JMZ: > I never fully understood why a individual user would use LTS.
There's a good reason for it, which is any software that works is warranted to continue working. And that's pretty interesting for both the user and the producer.
Most software that is libre is community maintained, without any corporation behind it but individuals. Having to check if all that software breaks itself every six months proves to be stressful, leading many applications in the universe repository intermittently unusable.
Summarising, it's very different that your software breaks because of you changing the code than for the code it depends breaking. Where applications would benefit from continuous improvement, for the base system it's more important to be predictable than to be featured.
This is why snaps were created, for being able to continually upgrade applications in LTS while keeping the base system predictable. It's just they are been deployed right now.
JMZ:
Teo teo is certainly right that an LTS plan of action has significant deficits.
Many times there has been a bug, even when it affected a minority of people, Teo came here bullshitting this community. Till he even got banned from this mailing list and Launchpad, then he created other account for continuing.
Let me tell you something, those legit reasons have become an excuse for bullshitting. It really doesn't matter if it's Ubuntu or political issues, the goal is keeping oneself in that mood.
That said, in eight years using the regular Ubuntu release as my only desktop operating system, I have only experience upgrade problems once. The same goes for all the people I have installed Ubuntu in their computers, they have always been able to upgrade.
Since Teo is experiencing those problems continuously, and mostly when upgrading to alpha releases, I'm even considering if he isn't simply paid for anti-marketing here as the cyberattacks we have been experiencing are. Curiously both started at the same time.
