As I said, this can not just install software, but also remove some. It should be handled with care is all I’m saying. Do you actually need it to upgrade your kernel version, though? I wouldn’t know why that would be the case.

It is reminded that new versions are very long in coming. I agree with that criticism. But there are (for me) more important things than a new major version of the system: It is unacceptable that updates, especially of important programs like LibreOffice, take endless time and that you can on

Partly Debian's DFSG is not strict enough and further works are needed to meet FSF's guidelines (as an endorsed distribution). Partly Ubuntu has been actively incorporating non-free software to its distribution, so it's increasingly hard to purify it (to be used as the basis of Trisquel).
