@jxvvt @swick not swick (thankfully /j) so I am talking on his behalf, but LTS distros often plague upstream projects by shipping out of date software, and by giving the users the false illusion of it this software being "stable" and approved by upstream, report out of date, fixed bugs to upstream wasting peoples time. An example - #GNOME Calendar gets many of these, @nekohayo has many stories of Ubuntu LTS or mint users complaining about missing features, that were fixes years ago (a lot of these users also then refuse to use the flatpak to test the latest version before complaining, for reasons that are beyond me) I imagine for security boundaries that can't really be fixed easily by using the an up to date flatpak instead, like XDG portals or flatpak itself, its even more of a nightmare!

@jxvvt @swick Agree. LTS just means upgrade once every 2 years instead of upgrading twice a year. That's it. That is the only difference.
