Yup. There are basically two distinct “LTS lineages” (for lack of a 
better term) that we have been developing and testing v4.x on: “RedHat” 
and “Ubuntu”. That actually unpacks to a fairly extensive list of 
“compatible” distros:




Thanks much for the update Fred!!


RedHat:
* RedHat Enterprise Linux 8 (RHEL8)
RockyLinux (Rocky8)
RedHat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL7)
* CentOS Linux 7 (CentOS7)

Ubuntu:
Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish)
* LinuxMint 21 XFCE
Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish)
Ubuntu Studio 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish)

(*) - Indicates an environment that is actively tested during Rivendell 
development.


There are many more available variations in each lineage that are 
basically derivatives of the same base distro. I will attempt to make an 
exhaustive list of the possibilities in the appropriate notes for each 
online installer; please ping me if I miss some!




I also imagine that Ubuntu 22.04
(and by association, Ubuntu Studio 22.04) will be supported as a base
distribution for as long as possible.


Correct.

FWIW though, I’ve basically given up on Ubuntu Studio 22.04 as a basis 
of testing as the new ‘KDE Plasma Desktops’ that they’ve moved to 
exhibits catastrophic instabilities (including data corruption and loss) 
on my systems. For those who want to try though, the base packages for 
Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) should work there.


I’ll also mention in passing that I’m really becoming a fan of Linux 
Mint. Version 21 is based on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) and runs 
those packages beautifully; while the XFCE remix provides a desktop 
environment that is very similar to that of CentOS 7.


I’ve also decided to quit producing packages for Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal 
Fossa) as we’ve never gone beyond beta releases for that distro version.




I've got a 20.04 development environment -- looks like I need to migrate 
to 22.04; I'll give Mint a go...


Thanks!

[RDD] Rivendell 4, Ubuntu Studio

[James Greenlee]

Ubuntu Studio has gone to LTS 22.04 with support out to 2025.

Will this be the direction for Rivendell 4?

Thanks!
