If we take stability as a parameter, is it safe to match them like this?

  • Fedora --> Ubuntu
  • CentOS Stream --> Ubuntu LTS
  • RHEL --> Debian

I know that CentOS stream is more kind of a rolling release but… feels like an LTS distro in practice… or it is just me?

Edit: adding some context. I am planning to setup a dev machine that I will connect to remotely and would like to babysit very little while having stable and fresh packages. In the Ubuntu world we would go to an LTS release but on the RPM/Dnf world is there any other distro apart from CentOS Stream? And also is CentOS Stream comparable to an LTS release at all considering that they do not have release number?

    Ubuntu LTS is not newer than Debian.

    CentOS Stream is also very old for some reason, they are CI/CD and get more updates, but it is just a step before RHEL.

    Fedora really has no middleground which I find unperfect.

    Also dont forget OpenSUSE, the free Enterprise distros, OpenEuler, Mandriva and more.
