Does LTS Linux still make sense?
Most of my team's remaining deployment issue come from dealing with different versions of Linux distributions. Do rolling release distributions make more sense / work better now than in the past?
Of course LTS still makes sense. In a production system you really only want to update the minimum possible in order to keep everything working, and the minimum possible is security and high-priority bugs only. Why would I want to keep churning all the software running all the time?!
Edit: clarifying which of your 2 answers I said yes to.
Have you considered containerization for the application? That would obviate the host OS issue mostly
I didn't get how different Linux distributions and LTS versions are related. Care to elaborate?
