Ubuntu Blog: 6 facts for CentOS users who are holding on

CentOS 7 has reached end of life, but many organizations still rely on it, making up 22% of enterprises. Ubuntu is a potential migration option for those still deciding, as it offers a mature ecosystem, enhanced security and a predictable long-term support (LTS) release schedule.
