No it isn't. Ubuntu LTS is supported for 5 years.

Ubuntu LTS is suppored for 5 years, Debian Stable is supported for 5 years, and OpenSUSE Leap is supported 5 years (as far as I can tell - the only documentation I found said "up to" 60 months).

CentOS Stream absolutely provides "long term" support.
