24.04 will be my last ubuntu lts. 26 doubling down on snap for system level packages, yea no that’s enough of that. I too was a gentoo lunatic in the early 2000s and will likely head back in that direction.
Ah, thanks for the warning. My install has been badgering me to upgrade because my (non-LTS) version just stopped getting security updates. I ought to get off my ass and switch distros.
Bleh, I don’t want to keep running old software, either. If they’re making the newer versions worse then it’s time to ditch them for someone who’s not doing that.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been procrastinating about upgrading for a few weeks, but that isn’t the same as staying on the same version for years.

What is your position on getting extended updates via a free account on their ‘pro’ program? That’s what i did when i didn’t want to leave 16.04 lts

Youve got a point. For me i dont mind old software if it works; i dont want to invest time into installing and learning a new distro on old hardware.
