Very much there with you. I run MacOS on my MBP for work. I built a workstation at home and run Ubuntu on it.
I decided to upgrade to latest Ubuntu drooling over the GNOME perf improvements and I have a system that wont connect to any network and the settings app won't open and would like to send a crash dump to Canonical :-(
I can afford such problems on my personal desktop, google the issues and spend a part of day fixing some poor QA release bugs, but not on a machine that I use and rely on for $ paying work.
- 13rac1 8y agoThis is why both my work and personal machines only run LTS versions.
- seba_dos1 8y agoI rather use rolling releases. This way the breakage is contained to 5-10 minute fixing sessions once in a few months, instead of a huge whole-day upgrading session every new release.
- 13rac1 8y agoI haven't experienced whole-day upgrading sessions in a long time. YMMV.
- reacharavindh 8y agoDoes that mean you don't have such issues when upgrading from LTS to LTS? No snark. Seriously asking. Are LTS versions generally better in this regard?
- 13rac1 8y agoCanonical says LTS are for polish and non-LTS are new features: https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle > Interim releases will introduce new capabilities from Canonical and upstream open source projects, they serve as a proving ground for these new capabilities.
