A Windows user is complaing about how much Windows sucks but refuses to go to the far superior OS that is Debian Stable Linux.
You'll still need to install security updates but the computer wont take you hostage in the process.
Step into the modern era. Use Arch.
Modern = full of bugs. If you want stable/secure workhorse OS you need to accept older software version branches that are properly maintained.
I didnt ask you to run bleeding edge or even beta branches of software.
I firmly understand using older versions of things often... Hell I have to keep an old AIX 6.x box operating because the app it runs, wont function on AIX 7.x for some freaky reason.
But thinking you need old software for security and stability, without being able to use some more modern things, is ludicrous.
