O que é uma versão LTS?
What is LTS in Linux Distributions?
Understanding Linux Distribution Models
- The speaker introduces the topic of LTS (Long Term Support) and mentions that there are various types of Linux distributions.
- Two main models of Linux distributions are discussed: rolling releases, where updates are continuously installed (e.g., Manjaro), and versioned releases, which have specific launch versions (e.g., Ubuntu).
Differences Between Version Types
- LTS stands for Long Term Support, providing security updates for five years. In contrast, intermediate versions have shorter support periods.
- Intermediate versions focus on introducing new features, while LTS versions prioritize stability over new functionalities.
Recommendations for Users
- The speaker recommends using LTS versions due to their stability and reliability. They mention the upcoming 20.04 release and suggest waiting a month or two after its launch to avoid initial bugs.
