 I think it was 39 to 40 that was a little rocky for a few weeks in the KDE
spin. There was a lot going on with Qt, KDE, and Wayland that took sorting
out. So far 42 has been a non-event. I ran through all the stuff I use
with no problems.
 The only problem I've had recently was with the Raspberry Pi OS. The
kernel was optimized for RPi 5 and whatever was updated in VS Code did not
play well so I had to move back to the RPi 4 kernel.
 Ubuntu had some updates Monday and they didn't break anything either.

   I initially tried f41-LXDE early on and it was NOT ready
   for prime time. The XFCE spin WAS good however.
   Pi-5 is just kinda WEIRD ... I wish they'd gone some
   other direction, even if it meant more of a wait, in
   order to increase compatibility with the older PIs.
   I just stopped using Ubuntu some years ago - it kept,
   pointlessly, deviating from Deb in too many ways ...
   plus Canonical was relentless promoting its 'cloud'
   junk (hard to install without it). Mostly these days
   I'm happy with MX (but DID have to use MX-AHS on
   that new n150 mini-box I bought).
   Anyway, Ralf solved my NHS problem today and I'm
   in a good mood.
