Hi @crichton:
There's a few things right and several things wrong with your statement.
First, you're correct that I've installed Cinnamon. I seem to have
forgotten that it's an unofficial package. That's rather unfortunate
because Cinnamon's user experience is generally way better than Unity's
garbage.
Second, you're wrong about 13.10 and 14.04. I have 16.04.
Third, the problem I first encountered during the upgrade process is
that `update-manager -c` reported that it could not calculate the
upgrade. While that makes sense since Cinnamon is third party, I very
much do not appreciate that the update-manager provided literally _zero
helpful information_ to move forward. It did not tell me what offending
packages I needed to remove.
I went to report that problem through `ubuntu-bug` as indicated (see
attached screenshot) and that program seemed to upload the bug report to
somewhere (where???) and then open a browser tab to here. It did *not*
create a bug report. It did *not* tell me why it did not create a bug
report. It did *not* even tell me that there was an error.
So I went to *manually* create a bug report and then, only then, was
information automatically attached.
This upgrade software is about as useful as Unity is. I'm very disappointed.
Without an automatic way to move forward (whether keeping Cinnamon or not), I
suppose I will need to reinstall the OS in order to upgrade. If that is the
case, I will not continue to use Ubuntu and will migrate to Fedora instead. At
least Fedora's bug reporting process is sane.
