It may be shocking to you, but I'm actually aware that this isn't all super serious, and I'm also being light with the robustness of my arguments. Who knew, right? That being said, Debian releases are supported for five years, not two. Ubuntu also releases a new LTS version every two years. I suppose if for some reason you thought it was still a good idea to be on Ubuntu 14.04 that'd technically be a benefit, but the implication of this thread seems to be that we're talking about desktop distros. That's certainly what I've been talking about. If you're seriously still running Ubuntu 14.04 on your home computer you're way more of a niche contrarian edge case than Arch users.
