That many people need old Ubuntu installations?

ejmin@lemmy.ml to datahoarder@lemmy.ml · 8 months ago

I’ve been seeding many Foss things for years but for some reason, people keep downloading Ubuntu versions that are more than 3 years old.

Any ideas why there is always someone downloading the ancient stuff, especially Ubuntu?

22.04 still isn’t FIPS validated yet, so if you need FIPS with Ubuntu pro, the most recent LTS distro you can get is 20.04. That’s why 20.04 is still popular.

Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time).
