My parents have been running Ubuntu since 2008, when I finally got tired of uninstalling spyware. It's been running like a charm ever since. Once Unity came out, I moved them to Xubuntu and never looked back. I do a clean install every year or two of the latest version.
The trick is to use compatible hardware. I gave them my old ThinkPads.
- slasaus 14y agoMaybe a full reinstall gives less regressions than upgrading, but I didn't have the time to do full reinstalls.
- w1ntermute 14y agoOh, that's the most likely cause of your problems then. There are all kinds of issues with upgrading Ubuntu installs. I always do a clean install for that reason, never an upgrade.
