The fear may be that a fresh install will be needed (a pain) as
upgrading the existing installation often comes with warnings that it
might not work. That's why I switched to a rolling release (LMDE) so
I'll never need to upgrade and reinstall and setup all the software I
need and config again. So they tell me. I'll tell you if it's true in
a few years! My /home is mounted on its own partition, so that's not a
pain (but is for users who don't know how to use gparted to do that),
but even then I fear problems if I point a new release to my single
/home and then need to roll back (the new release may have changed files
in ~).
Do you do a fresh install every 6 months or do you upgrade your existing?
