Unclear from the article is whether or not they will continue to support LTS versions.
If they are eliminating stable releases from their open source offerings as RH did with Fedora, a similar exodus will occur to a new platform. I sure as heck would not use a rolling release for any of my daily work, and sure as heck not on a server.
Presently, Ubuntu LTS is the only distribution that I use for my professional embedded development work. I have used said LTS releases since 2004. The ongoing push to use snap and the recent introduction of a snap-only Firefox in Jammy already has made me expect that this sort of last straw is coming soon.
Canonical, your recent choices are disappointing and disillusioning your users. I suspect you no longer care about your community and are chasing profits, following in the footsteps of RH.
HN, where would you migrate?
I suspect that the best contender will not emerge until Ubuntu pulls this trigger, but I now am ready to explore my options.
