Ubuntu upgrades, even LTS server, are often problematic. I've had several issues over the years: network interfaces renamed, default route lost, 5 minute delays in boot due to various systemd job timeouts (which weren't a problem in previous releases), etc. All this stuff was "fixable" but it certainly wasn't smooth and all required console access to resolve.
- rcarmo 2y agoWeird, I have machines that have been upgraded from as far back as 14.04 to the current LTS that have had zero issues. IMHO, you only get that kind of problems if you use non-LTS "interim" releases.

- icedchai 2y agoThis happened mostly during the 20.04 -> 22.04 era. Perhaps it's my configuration? I have some systems with multiple network cards. I will say on VMs with a single network interface, the upgrades have been smooth. If I were to rebuild my systems, I'd go for Debian.
