"Archlinux is about 30 seconds" I lost it XD

I find a 12 year LTS system scary, but then I remember how long Windows XP was a thing.

[jasongalloway]

arch linux...the minute man of the linux world....

At the university we use Ubuntu 15.10 (non LTS) on some computers in research.

I work for a large MSP. Granted while we are primarily a MS house with the services we support this applies to tens of thousands of devices/platforms we support that are linux as well. The thing I note often is that nowadays security services/software (usually EDR/XDR) stop supporting the older versions forcing the upgrade for most of them anyway. Unless theyre factories, hospitals & and power And man whenever they get hit supporting them isnt nice.

In 2020 I worked at an industrial tooling repair shop. We used an inventory system that still ran on emulated IBM PC-DOS. While not directly connected to the internet, the host machine running Windows 7 was.

The reason why nobody talked about this is the same reason why I left the Chris Titus Discord server: your average desktop Linux users has no idea why anyone would ever want or need long tern support. I remember a person there saying that the 5 years of your typical LTS was too long as is. And don't get me wrong, I"m a Manjaro users because I want the latest stuff - just you know, I don't want to bleed - but corporations want stability.

i remember in 2015 i had a job at a gas station, and there was 2 computers. 1 computer was for the cash register and it ran microsoft windows 2000. the second computer was for DVD rentals.

it ran MS-DOS.

This effects my form. We have audit requirements that mandate we have 3rd party operating support. We had been using CentOS/RHEL with paid support for the production environments. When RHEL killed CentOS, we moved to Ubuntu and never looked back.

[knghtbrd]

We had legacy systems, but we did phase them out and replace them (the whole machine) when the OS entered legacy support period. New machines cost less than the contracts to maintain the old ones because the costs for doing so increase year over year.

[bmt]

I work in IT and we have multiple systems running internal infrastructure critical systems with arch and kernel 2.x.

Makes a good argument for selling Linux to corporate, more options is more appetising

[abit_gray]

From my experience, the problem with non-updating servers is old monolith programs/systems. You just cannot afford for them to go down. You probably don't even know all that is running on them or have someone who can make sure everything starts after the update.

[goaserer]

At the one hand updating production machines after 12 years is gonna be a massive pain, on the other hand it is probably someone else's problem then...

[Stay_away_from_my_swamp_water]

arch pro - which offers 31s of support

[Qyngali]

Well, I had a customer that ran Novell Netware 3.11 not that long ago lol. Nobody had any idea what it was and nobody knew where the server was located. I traced the network cables all over and the damn server WAS BEHIND A SEALED DOOR! No I'm not kidding. 3.11 was released in 1991... hard to believe it worked for what, 30 years? Good thing it wasn't accessible from the outside. 🤣

The cashiers in my local departement store using ubuntu and from the DE, it looks like it's pre-unity ubuntu cause it looks like gnome 2

[generallyunimportant]

i now have a reason to install 16.04 besides the awesome DE
i'm really tempted

[АлексейШилин-дф]

I'd argue Canonical's offering is better now since it also includes universe section not just main section, and RHEL repository is tiny in comparison.

[brekmister]

In the ISP space, this typically entails DHCP servers and Public DNS servers. Lot of times these things get provisioned and then forgotten until a change is needed which typically falls into the Network engineers hands.


These engineers sometimes deal with much much older equipment which they are prioritizing first to upgrade (IE. T1's are still a thing)
