Wondering why you would use a non lts version?

If anyone does, I would like to know.

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

I have considered using one because a few bugs or missing features I encounter are caused by older versions of a software (e.g. old version of imagemagick not supporting animated AVIF) and I want to stick to the stable official packages instead of custom builds or PPAs. But I remain on LTS.

Main thing I care about is having the latest version of Gnome. Otherwise I use flatpaks for all my apps.

Why not use a rolling release distro?

I actually use Fedora Silverblue, not Ubuntu. But I still maintain the snap because it’s really easy to do and I like the app.
