Completely agree on this one. In my day job we started using Fedora as one
of our desktop os. Then support issues and upgrade cycle started giving
nightmares to corp IT. They are looking at other avenues now. I really wish
there is a LTS release for this awesome distro - Fedora.
Why does there need to be a long-term support for Fedora?
My primary problem with Fedora isn't "lack of stability", but lack of
API/ABI and UI-stability/persistence/sustainability between upgrades.
In other words, I can cope with the number of crashes upgrades typically
come along with, but the number "UI-changes" is what makes Fedora
difficult to use for me.
Why not just
use Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
My view: RHEL is not an alternative to Fedora. CentOS would be a
candidate alternative to Fedora, however due to the nature of its
upstream and its upstream target audience (servers) it lacks a lot to be
functionally "on par" with Fedora.
That said, if I was managing a larger network, I'd likely choose CentOS
as base OS and harvest Fedora to setup a custom "add-on" repo.
