Teo and his/her problems
I have been using Ubuntu and or one of the derivatives for many years now and other than an occasional hiccup never have had any real problems. Certainly found them very stable. In fact, for the last few years, I have been following the new releases, currently Zesty, by zsync every few days and then testing them in VirtualBox. Of course, there are sometimes problems with these but the problems seem to be fixed quite quickly and the new release stabilizes. Right now I am testing Zesty Xubuntu and I like it - other than it still advertises itself as 16.04. I believe that it could used as my main system even now. So it makes me wonder what is wrong with Teo's setup that it seems so unstable? Perhaps we could investigate that aspect rather fight each other. Just my 2c. Compliments of the season and best wishes to all who contribute.

Re: Upgrade was a disaster as usual <- still dead horse, just a clarification.
Alright Teo, it sounds like you have a reason to be upset, but you have also not provided enough details and have also scared people away with the way you have worded things. People shouldn't call you a troll, but you should be aware of how you are treating others and how they expect to be treated. I hope you continue to use Ubuntu and help reporting issues that you run into. People do care about making Ubuntu better. Personally I have upgraded several times and things have always gone well. Perhaps if you include more details you could potentially help people with a fringe case that weren't aware of.

You are very wrong my friend. I hate being in that "mood" and I have no goal whatsoever of keeping myself in it. My system breaking at any random time because of a minor update, or my computer becoming a useless pile of metal when just upgrading the OS, that is the sort of things that put me in that mood, as well as seeing how little the "QA" community cares about them. > Since Teo is experiencing those problems continuously, and mostly when > upgrading to alpha releases "alpha" releases?? Are all non-LTS considered "alpha"? Ok, that explains a lot of things. Yes, I am experiencing problems continuously because Ubuntu is full of problems, and if it is mostly when upgrading I guess it's because upgrades are the weakest point of Ubuntu.

Re: Upgrade was a disaster as usual
JMZ: > I never fully understood why a individual user would use LTS. There's a good reason for it, which is any software that works is warranted to continue working. And that's pretty interesting for both the user and the producer. Most software that is libre is community maintained, without any corporation behind it but individuals. Having to check if all that software breaks itself every six months proves to be stressful, leading many applications in the universe repository intermittently unusable. Summarising, it's very different that your software breaks because of you changing the code than for the code it depends breaking. Where applications would benefit from continuous improvement, for the base system it's more important to be predictable than to be featured. This is why snaps were created, for being able to continually upgrade applications in LTS while keeping the base system predictable. It's just they are been deployed right now. JMZ: Teo teo is certainly right that an LTS plan of action has significant deficits. Many times there has been a bug, even when it affected a minority of people, Teo came here bullshitting this community. Till he even got banned from this mailing list and Launchpad, then he created other account for continuing. Let me tell you something, those legit reasons have become an excuse for bullshitting. It really doesn't matter if it's Ubuntu or political issues, the goal is keeping oneself in that mood. That said, in eight years using the regular Ubuntu release as my only desktop operating system, I have only experience upgrade problems once. The same goes for all the people I have installed Ubuntu in their computers, they have always been able to upgrade. Since Teo is experiencing those problems continuously, and mostly when upgrading to alpha releases, I'm even considering if he isn't simply paid for anti-marketing here as the cyberattacks we have been experiencing are. Curiously both started at the same time. -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list Ubuntu-quality@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality
