Re:Microsoft fixes 5-year-old Defender bug, reducing Firefox... by fryry on Monday April 10, 2023 @07:21PM (#35518625)
Just today I needed to run some software only available in .deb and only on Ubuntu 22.04. So whipped out an old laptop that had Ubuntu installed and ran sudo do-release-upgrade to upgrade to 22.04. boom! GUI gone and the terminal was flooded with weird filesystem errors. I had to spend the whole afternoon reinstalling from scratch.

I would love a Linux daily driver but I've had similar experiences to the above every time I've tried it for the last 15 years.

It says use it for non-GUI newest release upgrades? Why are you surprised the GUI disappeared?!

Also, why did to do that, if you wanted to keep the current version?

Anyhow, I never have such issues with Debian. Do bear in mind, Ubuntu(or any distro) is not Linux.

Are you going to call Linux "unstable", because you get a crappy phone with Android(which is judt more Linux).
