Windows vs Ubuntu Release Cycle

Posted on 05:27 by Unknown
I started writing this article but then felt it's point could be better represented in comic form (click to enlarge):


While it does not address how all Linux distributions release, I think you may get my point. Most people fall into one of the following for their operating system upgrades:

  • Upgrade to New Release Every 6 monthsish (Fedora isn't always on time)
  • Upgrade to a new LTS every two years
  • Upgrade to a new Windows version... Well, whenever the next one comes out!
  • Upgrade Windows? Pff, XP is support till 2020!
  • Upgrade your operating system? I use a rolling release distro!

What is your preferred release cycle for a operating system?
