Doesn’t LTS change like twice a year nowadays?

No sane person is putting plain JS on the server nowadays, it’s TS by far most of the time.

Are you sure that’s not a monitor setting?

Since plain http is becoming pretty uncommon nowadays, just use a non-ISP DNS server and you should be pretty safe.

I think a lot of Brits pronounce it that way

I play RL through Steam, it’s still getting all of the updates.

And sometimes recommended by Microsoft support.

As far as I can see, it’s freeware, not foss

GrapheneOS said they are working with an unnamed OEM to make devices compatible with GOS. Hopefully they are good, because Pixels may indeed be a dead end.

Or Fedora

Because CGNAT means that their router does not have a public IP - just like your router has a single IP that is shared between your devices (using NAT), their ISP shares an IP between multiple customers (also using NAT, it’s just called carrier-grade NAT to differentiate who is doing it).

Does that laptop have an SSD?

This is a recent example of a problem that required manual intervention or the system would not boot after updates. This happens every now and then on arch, it’s why you should check arch news before updating.

Jokes on you, this happened to me on fedora with an nvidia gpu.

According to this Google accounts for 90% of Chromium code contributions. If Google does not control Chrome anymore, expect them to mostly go away.

FreeBSD is closer to Unix than Linux is

Usually not on every launch, but a lot of first time launch installers require it.

Question is how “real” that support is - firmware updates matter and depend mostly on the chip manufacturer’s support.

By 8 years old even the newest devices will be out of software support and using EOL phones is not a particularly great idea for security. GOS’s security focus goes out the window if you use an old version with known vulnerabilities.

You can probably expect GOS support as long as Google supports the device, that is the main limitation. For the newer Pixels that is promised to be 7 years after release.

Going by this table, Pixel 6 is currently the oldest to get full GOS updates

That matches Google’s software support
