    That’s…an opinion that is not backed by any facts at all. What in the world are you talking about with “bloat” 🤣

    So you’re a newbie, and making lots of wild claims and taking awfully opinionated positions in this thread all over the place. I don’t think you want help, so just be on your way 👍


  • This…is not accurate. Not being pedantic, just correcting the misunderstanding so you know the difference.

    LTS releases are built to be stable on pinned versions of point release kernel and packages. This ensures that a team can expect to not have to worry about major changes or updates for X years.

    Rolling Releases are simply updating new packages to whatever versions become available when released. Pretty much the opposite of an expected stable release for any period of time.

    Doesn’t have anything to with “forced reinstall” of anything. If you’ve been having to fully reinstall your OS every time a new LTS is released, you are kind of doing extra unnecessary work.











  • People in here like to hate, but there’s a damn good reason. The majority of the people who are vocal about distribution choice aren’t contributors, long-time users, or experts in the field. A lot of us who are just want a simple, quick installing, porting, “out of the way” (no heavy customizations) and functional distro with a large user base, and a solid team behind it. This means it’s not going to immutable, and it’s not going to to be by Canonical.

    A lot of us use Fedora for this exact reason.







  • I continue to contribute in the most minor way to both, and it’s very true that Hughes LARGELY runs this repo. This is becoming a problem, especially since the majority of companies do not contribute, though they use the upstream just like everyone else.

    If Amazon, Google, Dell, Hetzner, Equinox, DR, DO…etc all paid their fair share, they’d be able to pay honest contributors just simply for making what is already available MORE readily available. That’s what this project is about.

    On the hardware manufacturer side: AMD, Nvidia, Intel, Realtek…etc are also not chipping in.

    This is a CRUCIAL project for larger adoption for home users. Yes, most enterprise-sized companies manage their own semver releases for firmware, but they still use these tools. They should contribute, not only because it’s the right thing to do, but a miniscule amount of money for them to do so to ensure the same people making this such a success can continue to do so.
