I use the second-to-latest LTS Ubuntu, and did the same when I upgraded. That said, the overhead to getting non-annoying Ubuntu increases with each version. It feels like someone there is creating make-work; like people need a job and just randomly change things, without making them better. Installing latest LTS Ubuntu involves going through this whole annoying process all over again. That's not to mention the sketchy app-stores, cross-sells, etc. It's a lot less sketchy than Windows or Android, but it's not a good direction. No, I don't want an app store. No, I don't want to send data to Ubuntu. No, I don't want cloud services, accounts, and whatnot. Come to think of it, an up-sell I would pay for is an option to download Ubuntu without all this crap. I understand they need to stay in business, and I wish they'd do so without annoying me.
