       Ubuntu 15 years LTS. What to think of it?Imagine living on 2010 software today:- OpenSSL 1.0, curl 7.20, gcc 4.4.3, autotools 2.6.8- no http/2, no Lets Encrypt, no Rust or GolangYou‘ll not be able to built todays software on this without upgrading most of the system.But for people needing linux in products with long term contractual support clauses, it may be good business.As a FOSS project, you should drop free support for old releases though.https://canonical.com/blog/canonical-expands-total-coverage-for-ubuntu-lts-releases-to-15-years-with-legacy-add-on
