The official flavors will likely still get their 3 years of support.

That doesn't then make them unusable. It means you enable extended support (they're calling it "Pro" now, as far as I know) and then babysit yourself as the official support will have ended. The important packages should still get updates as they're in the repositories that get LTS.

It's no different than installing Ubuntu and then installing a different DE over it.

This is off-topic. I simply looked for a thread that you'd started and picked the first one I saw.

Evidence suggests that you're into lighthouses. This is a YouTube channel about preserving lighthouses.

I figured that I'd hunt down one of your threads and share the link.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

I guess ubuntu has to offer up something to compete with the fact that Linux mint runs rings around it in terms of stability, etc etc etc
