Have to use Windows for work (I’ve asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification… That’s clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

    What the hell happened with Debian? Or is this some commercial support based scheme from Canonical?

      Or is this some commercial support based scheme from Canonical?

      That’s probably the big thing, companies like having enterprise support

      It’s $500/blade/yr for 10 years of security updates for unlimited VMs. Hard to beat, even with the recent price increase (I think it used to be $299?).

      Landscape and kernel live-patching are also useful, as is ADsys.

      Even without paid support, the two-year LTS cadence is a good balance between bleeding edge and stagnant stability. Debian doesn’t follow a fixed release schedule; and RHEL is so bare-bones and out-of-date that you need EPEL just to make it useful.
