It's been put off to long..
upgrading the Ubuntu 20.04 to current... wonder what I break in the process.
That'll be tough potentially as some of the steps are no longer provided by the repos.
uh - what? so what do you do for things like MC when they drop the next LTS?
LTS updates exist. But not LTS to current when LTS is not current.
-
Ubuntu "forces" you to either the LTS or the current path. As long as you keep your LTS up to date, every two years you get the option temporarily to switch to current and vice versa. But you can only effectively do it safely when LTS and current are the same (25% of the time) or at least in the official current support window (50% of the time.) If you are outside of that window (now) then you have problems.

OIC - so there is a window of roughly 1 year to update from one LTS to the next, afterwhich you could have big problems moving.

This is why I do not use Ubuntu unless the applications requires it..

It wasn't horrible - I had to search up the process since it's a process I don't do often. But changing LTS to Normal allowed updating...

Just avoid LTS and you are all good.

Okay, that only works sometimes. Depending on how out of date it is and where your mirrors are.

Get beyond the LTS to something really out of date -- say a full LTS or two behind and yeah, that will be a fun time.

I just finished cup 6, and it's only 11:30 am here.
In other news, I'm officially off of google for my "personal" email domain... now I just need to transfer all the messages I want to keep and turn Google off.
