If we take stability as a parameter, is it safe to match them like this?

  • Fedora --> Ubuntu
  • CentOS Stream --> Ubuntu LTS
  • RHEL --> Debian

I know that CentOS stream is more kind of a rolling release but… feels like an LTS distro in practice… or it is just me?

Edit: adding some context. I am planning to setup a dev machine that I will connect to remotely and would like to babysit very little while having stable and fresh packages. In the Ubuntu world we would go to an LTS release but on the RPM/Dnf world is there any other distro apart from CentOS Stream? And also is CentOS Stream comparable to an LTS release at all considering that they do not have release number?

    Sir, either you troll, or have the wrong idea why the distros mentioned are different things with different goals.

    In case it was intended seriously, I’ll probably descend into madness because of the ubu lts = centos stream assessment.

      Isn’t CentOS Stream equivalent to Ubuntu LTS in terms of stability? They both tend to use packages that have been somewhat tested alas not to the point of Debian/RHEL

        If we define stable as unchanging for release cycle, yes. Just really hard to come up with equivalence with these two otherwise.
