The regular as clockwork bi-yearly releases are one of the best things about Ubuntu. Ubuntu is the default supported Linux laptop/desktop env in so many tech orgs.
If you use Ubuntu and want to help ensure it works for your env remember to test the upcoming release alphas / betas eg with USB boot stick and file bugs on Launchpad if you notice something broken.
(Same goes for other distros your org may use, eg Debian, Fedora etc)
Snaps mostly work great, and are a great improvement for keepign up to date sw available for people using LTS releases. This and the security improvements brought by the sandboxing greatly overshadow the sometime teething problems of the system.
- hn2017 4y agoNot sure why your downvoted. Ubuntu has been fairly reliable for years

This and the security improvements brought by the sandboxing greatly overshadow the sometime teething problems of the system. That being said, I do currently use Ubuntu 20.04 at work (with snap disabled) and it's been pretty great. E to Add: I don't think snap/flatpak are _inherently_ bad. Snap's implementation however does however cause lots of problems for me. While maybe these are just teething issues, flatpak is right there and works now, with acceptable sandboxing for my usecase.

- reassembled 4y agoI recently switched from Ubuntu to Fedora 36. I think most general Ubuntu users would be able to make the switch with minimal issues. Obviously Fedora uses the yum/dnf package manager and RPM files instead of Deb packages.
