My hardware wasn't even selected for Linux compatibility. Also, I've done in-place upgrades on this PC for the last 6 years. I did skip some versions though.
As far as I can remember, nothing actually broke when doing upgrades ever.
I love Fedora's in-place system upgrade, and it just keeps getting better.
- grey_earthling 5y agoI persuaded my partner to switch to Linux, because Windows is increasingly hostile if you don't want online services, accounts and offers. We went with Silverblue, because it Just Works™, it's simple to upgrade, and it's difficult to break (and it's what I've used for years now). One of my criteria when recommending a distro is "if I leave them alone with it for 10 years, would it be EOL (or broken)?" and IMO Silverblue makes major version upgrades much simpler than Ubuntu.
