   The version of the OS that shipped with them has an unfortunate bug when reinstalling. IIRC it doesn't brick them, but it won't get passed the final stage when you create your account. In any case, the solution would be "down

   I had to do this recently and went with the terminal method. It's just downloading the newer install app and running it, really quite simple.

    Interesting, a few years ago Canonical were working on a react-native for Ubuntu. I wonder what happened with that. I also wonder what this means for cross-toolkit consistency.
