I thank you all for your comments. There's another issue that I thought last night, about changing operating systems. I produce some publications, photobooks, etc, with a software that I choose only because it has a Linux version. They have a windows version, of course, but my books were made in this filesystem, with these photo locations. If I change to windows, pathnames would not match and I thing I would loose my work. This only would prevent me to change OS.
Well, I think I could try to go back to 14.04 and use the packaged version of dt. Since its an old computer, maybe I should stick with an old OS version ? 2018-02-20 3:55 GMT-03:00 I.
