Ubuntu has too many problems for me to want to run it. However, it has occurred to me that there aren’t a lot of distros that are like the Ubuntu LTS.

Basic requirements for a LTS:

• at least 2 years of support
• semi recent versions of applications like Chrome and Firefox (might consider flatpak)
• a stable experience that isn’t buggy
• fast security updates

Distros considered:

• Debian (stable)
• Rocky Linux
• openSUSE
• Cent OS stream
• Fedora

As far as I can tell none of the options listed are quite suitable. They are either to unstable or way to out of date. I like Rocky Linux but it doesn’t seem to be desktop focused as far as I can tell. I would use Debian but Debian doesn’t have the greatest security defaults. (No selinux profiles out of the box)
