Ubuntu LTS or regular edition?

Με το Ubuntu μπορείτε να επιλέξετε να ενημερώσετε το σύστημά σας κάθε έξι μήνες ή κάθε δύο χρόνια, αν θέλετε να παραμείνετε σε έκδοση "Long Term Support" ή εν συντομία "LTS". Είναι ρύθμισης στο "Update Manager." Ακολουθώντας τη διαδρομή Settings - Updates - Release upgrade, μπορείτε να επιλέξετε LTS ή την πρόσφατη έκδοση.

The Canonical's system is designed with security in mind. So as we mentioned above you can have security updates for at least 9 months on desktop versions and . Now the LTS version is released every 2 years, while earlier Long Term Support (LTS) versions offered 3 years of support for Ubuntu (Desktop) and 5 years for Ubuntu Server.

But what does LTS mean for the end user?

Ubuntu LTS is nothing more, and nothing less than an operating system version that you can use for a longer time.

Canonical develops LTS publications with a conservative mindset: instead of adding new features, developers are working on existing ones.

For this reason, LTS versions are usually more stable on older hardware (hardware over one year or more), and receive regular updates to work better on computers that just came out of the factory.

If you choose to use LTS versions, you need to upgrade your system every two years, and if you use the latest version, you need to upgrade your system every six months to be up-to-date. Needless to talk about the importance of updates, when you know that these include security updates.

So companies usually use LTS versions and update to the next LTS a few months after official release (this is the typical LTS version upgrade behavior). This way gives developers more time to fix any errors.

Simple users now also usually use the latest versions, because they are much improved compared to the previous version. Of course it is a personal choice.

Below we will try to help you choose:

Stay on LTS if:

You just want to use your computer to do your jobs and you are not interested in innovation. An LTS version lets you stay on the same operating system for up to five years, without worrying about major system upgrades or upgrades.

Θέλετε να χρησιμοποιείτε ένα συγκεκριμένο λογισμικό που μπορεί να μην υποστηρίζεται σε νεότερες εκδόσεις του λειτουργικού συστήματος. Μπορείτε επίσης να χρησιμοποιήσετε μια έκδοση LTS αν δεν χρειάζεστε λογισμικό που υποστηρίζεται μόνο από νεότερες εκδόσεις του λειτουργικού συστήματος. Η αρχή αυτής της στρατηγικής είναι: "ότι δουλεύει, δεν το αλλάζουμε".

You have installed Ubuntu on multiple computers (for example, a company), and a small change can cause a big problem. With LTS versions this way you can avoid updating systems.

Εγκαταστήσατε το Ubuntu στον υπολογιστή κάποιου που είναι από πολύ έως λίγο αρχάριος. Ας πούμε ότι το έχετε να το εγκαταστήσει για τη γιαγιά σας και ξοδέψατε αρκετό χρόνο για να της εξηγήσετε πως λειτουργεί. Με τις συχνές ενημερώσεις τα πράγματα μπορεί να αλλάξουν και να αναγκαστείτε να κάνετε το φροντιστήριο από την αρχή....

Upgrade to the latest version if:

When you want the last one same price :)

If you want the latest software to be released

If you want to help develop Ubuntu by testing the latest software. If you are a developer and develop new applications.

__________________________________

As you can see from the above, we tend to favor the latest versions of Ubuntu.

However, it should be noted that upgrades to Ubuntu are rather smooth and painless. Your apps, files, and preferences remain where they were. Only you may have to leave some old habits working with the new features.
