| Jul 21, 2020 at 4:04 | comment | added | Nmath | Here is my POV because I commented on that post: I completely agree that these questions should not be closed, but depending on how outdated the EOL release, sometimes it is worth pointing out to OP that it is probably less of a headache to reinstall, instead of seek an answer on how to upgrade an EOL release | |

| Jul 20, 2020 at 22:02 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | The third link is asking that people don't close EOL questions indiscriminately, the same as you ask here, just in a more general way but my point is mostly that this comes up quite a lot. | |

| Jul 20, 2020 at 21:47 | comment | added | Kulfy | @Mark I'm not sure if this question is really a duplicate. I'd leave the fate of this question to the community. But here's my opinion, I think I posted a generalized appeal. The first question you linked was specific IMHO. The second one's answer suggested to use a common dupe which I think isn't a very good idea. The third one wasn't about the questions about upgrading. | |

Errors while upgrading from a EOL release -- should the question be closed? or meta.askubuntu.com/questions/11550/… or meta.askubuntu.com/questions/13837/… I am sure there are more, this comes up quite often. | |
