To OP: this is a much clearer & better explanation for what I was trying to say.

This is an imperfect analogy, but think of updating between Windows 10 and 11 versus installing updates on windows 10 or win 11.

I have no experience with Fedora, but AFAIK at least in Ubuntu/Debian land, updates are installed from OS version specific package repositories. When the version of the OS is no longer supported, those repositories might not receive updates anymore.

EDIT: this is the main reason I have a rolling release distro on most of my personal machines. The package repos have the newest packages without having to update my OS major version every now and then.

Can’t critizise something that has never been tried! Also we already got a comment critizising capitalism as a counter argument :D

I totally agree with passenger space, predictability, speed and overall commitment towards development of the parts of the city that the tram goes through.

However I personally cannot agree on trams being quiet at least in my country. They have an incredibly loud squeal when cornering at higher speeds. Sometimes one can hear a tram squealing by half a kilometer away.
