Really wonder why main Ubuntu still isn't rolling release...
Guessing, but no future excitement, direct-competition with themselves vs release versions, and added confusion (why would anyone use non-LTS release like 24.10 vs rolling?).
I'd be into using rolling Ubuntu, but likely wouldn't bother with non-LTS if rolling existed.
Most Linux users use other Linux distributions instead of Canonical/Ubuntu, etc...
Think it's a waste of time publishing packages for specific distributions, and should only publish/push generic source code packages.
From my experience with Intel ARC, the initial Intel ARC Ubuntu packages and Intel repositories completely failed, and will likely only fail in the future due to disconnects between the two organizations. Again, just publish source packages with listed dependencies, keeping the package building the responsibility of the distributions. Otherwise, only supporting some Linux distributions creates a lopsided affect for support, with most failing.
Ubuntu (and/or its derivatives) is a far more common choice outside of the US
It actually is
reasons we (broadcast) decided to use Ubuntu LTS:
- more recent than Debian, shorter LTS cycles
- good support from closed source third party capture device manufacturers (SDI/SMPTE etc ... and no, there are no OSS alternatives available unfortunately )
