| Jul 1, 2017 at 1:24 | comment | added | ravery | @wineunuchs2unix -- I agre with that. one reason I left window was that I was tired of half finished software being released. the other is tht they were getting to "big brother". I don't want my home computer login checking my email or sending everything to drop box, etc. my "services are separate and I want them that way." | |
| Jul 1, 2017 at 1:13 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | @ravery I really don't know. Ubuntu automatically takes me to upgrades between LTS's (ie 14.04 to 16.04 (that was painful)) and not the minor revisions like 15.04, 15.10, 16.10 and 17.04. I've lobbied for Ubuntu to cancel 17.10 and make the next version 18.0 which comes out only when it's as perfect as can be based on Gnome Desktop whether it be April 2018 (.04) or May 2018 (.05) or even "wake me up when September ends" (.09). The point is call it version 18 and release it when it's working not because you have to based on calendar month. | |
| Jul 1, 2017 at 0:50 | comment | added | ravery | @wineunuuchs2unix thanks for that information. though do-distrobution-upgrade will still take him to 17.04 | |
| Jul 1, 2017 at 0:47 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | @ravery I just installed 16.04 in 2016 and since it's an LTS release it's supported for 5 years so it won't reach EOL until 2021. I'll install version 18 in 2018, but will probably keep this 16.04 partition alive for testing purposes until EOL (if not longer). After all the measly 30GB it requires is pocket change in Mass Storage standards these days. | |
| Jun 30, 2017 at 23:56 | comment | added | ravery | that method works for any version ..... as pointed out in the discussion, the OP didn't want 17.10 which is what ~do-distrobution-upgrade will give him. 16,04 is almost EOL I believe. not only did I research it, I have done it many times. | |
