Sparky Oldstable Releases

[Zay2954]

Hey Sparky community! I was wondering how SparkyLinux handles oldstable releases. Like, what would happen to Orion Belt after Seven Sisters releases? Would it keep getting .x updates, does it still update as normal and follow the 3 year of normal support and 2 year LTS support like Debian does, and would it follow Bookworm and what it does? Or would Orion Belt kinda just be gone when Seven Sisters releases? Thank you so much.

testing 'seven sister' become stable soon -> will be supported to ~August 2030
stable 'orion belt' become oldstable -> supported 5 years to June 2028
oldstable 'po tolo' become oldoldstable -> supported 5 years to August 2026

all it happens after trixie become stable.

Is there like an LTS kinda thing for the last two years like Debian or is it just normal support for 5 years?

its the same as Debian's support: 3 years + 2 years of LTS = 5 years

I found we don't need support for any Linux OS.. They work just fine the way they are without updates.. They sure don't suddenly go bad and quit working when update support has run-out, same as meds don't suddenly go bad after the expiry date.. An expert druggist and drugstore meds supplier informed me that most meds are good for at least 25-years, that it's only a few of the liquid vitamins and meds that go weak in a short time.. Don't worry if support has stopped in a Linux OS.. It still works like it did before support ended... We are too fooled, scammed, and conditioned to believe that expiry dates means the end of something... Updates and expiry dates are a huge scam...


Quoting: "Nothing is easy as it looks. Danielle Steel".. 
If you have a strong mind, are tuned with your pure spirit, and are fearless, 'everything is easier than it looks' your majesty... Example: Most people fear pretty much everything: life, truth, love, honesty, reality, their shadow, their thoughts... People can totally erase their fears simply by imaging their spirits are pushing a red hot fear bubble down in side them from their throats toward their stomach area.. The moment one senses a tiny inner burp sensation is when one has reset their fear level to nil to absolutely fearless.. I use it to walk up to huge wild hungry carnivores in forests in total safety, bow, then sit 8-feet from them, telling them stories.. What looks to be impossible becomes easy if you love all life, and all life loves you right back... Too bad people can't handle the truth... Reality is scary, dangerous, and deadly if you aren't one with life and nature... If you are, then everything flows smooth and easy... Humanity doesn't have a grasp to any reality.. Humanity lives a goofy delusion, a cartoon, a dead-end...
