Is it? They provide LTS as a base since they don’t want to deal with bleeding edge packages breaking something for end users or devs, but they manually override a few packages with their own to show off their latest work. Seems like a good deal.
I don’t really care if I’m running a kernel from 5 years ago as long as I’m still getting timely security updates. What I care about is having up to date versions of the apps I actually use day-to-day - through Flatpack, Docker or whatever, and I prefer to have an up to date WM cos it’s something I interact with a lot.
you probably have old hardware in that case
the latest kernel releases greatly helped with the effiency of newer AMD and Intel (Hybrid) CPUs which can give you a longer battery usage on laptops
What is it about Ubuntu LTS that makes it a hard pass?
“Up to date” and “LTS” are kind of antithetical
