When should I upgrade

[Soare Catalin]

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask for a recommendation on this subject.

I have performed an upgrade on my laptop from 10.10 to 11.4 a few weeks ago,
and, to be honest I did not like it at all. Unity lacked the customization I
got used to ever since I started using Linux, and it still seems to still
lack them (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).
Thing is that I removed it and done a fresh install of 10.10.

So my question is:
(I didn't know that LTS has a 2 years cicle so) for how long can I stay with
10.10?
Or what would the alternatives be in this case? (I wouldn't upgrade too
soon...)
