And that's an improvement unnoticed by those who can't find anything if

improvement. With the older upgrades, it always broke something. And if
you stopped upgrading it in the middle, your only choice was to install
ubuntu again. And now, it's the first time I saw people stopped in the
middle because they didn't understood the questions or it took too long
which it was easy to fix. Just start again the install and everything
runs fine. Which was unthinkable with previous upgrades. It's a major
improvement unknown to the end user which still benefits him. So saying
it doesn't happened because one didn't understood it is just showing
evidence of strong opinion based on lack of knowledge.

Most of the problems I've hit with Ubuntu upgrades are related to snap.
For example when flatpak updates Brave the new version is seen when brave
is restarted.  With snap, the update fails with a running app so you have
to kill it and manually do the snap refresh.

20.04 to 22.04 managed to hose my postgres installation completely.

With Ubuntu there seems to always be something that requires manual
intervention where Fedora goes more smoothly.
