Yesterday, I did an upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 on a non-critical
desktop. Those of you who have heard me rail before about upgrade
versus clean install may be surprised by that statement. Earlier
version upgrades always left me with borked systems. I was interested
to see if there has been any progress.
Progress, indeed. Now to be fair, the system I updated is a basic
desktop kit. Most important is that the Gnome Flashback packages were
included in the upgrade so I could immediately move away from <expletive
deleted> Unity as soon as the upgrade completed.
Result - the "update-manager -d" command did take a couple of hours to
run its course. The system runs fine, to the extent that I have tested.
I shall proceed to upgrade some of my other systems but I shall be
backing them up first.
