Could Ubuntu be a reasonably secure "just works" alternative to Fedora?

but LTS release cycles are not great for a desktop. And Ubuntu patches software and usually ships mixed software versions.
You might get an old GNOME desktop with new GNOME apps for example.

This doesn’t just affect cosmetic parts, it can also affect the security of the applications shipped by the distribution.

Fedora doesn’t have this problem since it ships vanilla packages that aren’t too customised. Fedora also updates the kernel, which means quicker bug fixes as well.

In the end, it’s obvious that both suck and you should go the way of Arch Linux. There’s a reason PG recommends against the Debian family.

When I get around to switching to Ubuntu, I plan on sticking with the very latest version of Ubuntu for this reason. Would you know if interim and brand new LTS Ubuntu releases still suffer from those same problems? I kind of assumed updates would be roughly close to Fedora since they both have new releases every 6 months or so.
