Another intuitive, trouble-free upgrade process, brought to you by Ubuntu.  Surely 2018 will be the year of the Linux desktop!

Time to “upgrade” my server to 15.10.
Computer no longer boots.

  • Upgrader tool crapped the bed because my internet connection went down for 1 minute.
  • Upgrader tool halted repeatedly, asking me if I want to overwrite my customized config files with default maintainer ones.  No dipshit, merge the changes together.  If you can’t figure out how, show me a 3-way merge with a nice GUI so I can decide which changes I want to keep.  And DON’T INTERRUPT THE INSTALLATION FOR THIS AND SIT THERE DOING NOTHING FOR HOURS.  Ask at the end of the upgrade.
  • Gnome panel no longer exists.  Just windows with no desktop.  Have to run gnome-panel by hand?
  • VNC stopped working, none of the proposed solutions work.
