Looking for LTS Distros with live kernel patch (alien.top)

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows of any other good LTS distros with 10 year support and preferably live kernel patching?

I mainly use UbuntuLTS as it seems to be the only distro that offers a free live kernal patching service. I've started deploying a few instances of Rocky because of its 10 year support, but the live kernel patch is a commercial service (and who knows if RedHat will try to kill it in 5 years).

Do I just make multiple Ubuntu accounts? lol

Multiple accounts, or pay for the service, or roll your own.

I have contemplated rolling my own as all the info is there and open-source. The only thing missing in the public space is some sort of automation to generate the differences/binary patch and test it in all possible combinations.

After giving this some time I felt more at ease with scheduled restarts then patched function calls in the kernel.
