They just want to shout about them while ignoring paid support for extended life Linux.

Ironically, you're just shouting about linux while ignoring the context behind the paid support for "extended life linux"

The paid support is for enterprise linux distros like Red Hat. This support is aimed at businesses. Not regular end users.

Regular users can get Long Term Support (LTS) versions of regular distros entirely free. Such as Ubuntu's LTS versions. With the cool addition of being able to freely move to the next LTS version whenever that comes out to replace the current LTS version.

How long is Ubuntu lts supported? Oh 10 years? And how old will Windows 10 be in 25? 10 years old?!!! WEIRD!

At least you don’t have to pay for the next LTS version of ubuntu. Nor do you have to meet daft hardware requirements to upgrade to the next LTS. You can just seamlessly upgrade to the next LTS version.

Unlike Windows.
