If that were true, and you followed the steps in *the release notes* you could for example compare what packages you had before and after.

You can't say "if you're root, then don't need to type sudo" because that leads to confusion about root. Based on some dev's complaint that people don't understand "be root". > I don't understand it - when I upgraded my main machine, > everything went smooth as butter, and my desktop and all > applications were left exactly as is.

Did anything actually happen, other than you logged in to a Gnome Wayland session instead of an XFCE X11 session? Or if you login automatically, maybe the default changed? So log out, select a session you prefer and log in again?
