I actually like that it’s LTS underneath, because I know I can run the machine for a couple of years with stable packages and then upgrade to the next version.

I understand the appeal of more up-to-date stuff, but with Docker I can have my stable cake and swap toppings at will :)

Because operating systems and application cliches should be separate! Layers that slip smoothly past each other precisely via well defined protocols of interaction. Now() is an outdated concept if we are to build systems that can age with grace.
