Sanjay ji I have been using linux since 2009 on my home as well as work
systems. I usually stick to ubuntu LTS releases while occasionally delving
into arch. And I have not had a single major breakage on my work systems
since atleast 2016. I have never understood the appeal for centos or even
RHEL apart from its commercial support. And one cannot expect moving
technologies to keep supporting old environments indefinitely.
