three or four years, they'll introduce a new LTS or another two years. Think two years to release an LTS and Ubuntu Mate will follow that release cycle. Linux Mint has been known to take the last LTS in this and it takes them a lot a little bit longer to get everything set up. So they're going to be on the older code base. They update the applications, but then they're not following the same lockstep as Ubuntu Mate. So, right. That's that it's that's I would have to say Ubuntu Mate has a I would say a better method in my book because things change so rapidly. So the next release, you know, long term support release will have a bunch of new stuff that maybe Linux Mint 19 isn't is not supporting. You know how quickly things move. So I have to give that that attaboy to Ubuntu Mate for that. OK. But neither one of these is a make or break. I just wonder why is this one supported longer? Why is Mint supported longer? Well, they're using the older code base. But Ubuntu Mate will have already (22/42)
