Feedback

ukwan from YouTube

• Just kept running 18.04 to 2024. Just switched to ESM and kept going.

jliljj from YouTube

• I'd go for the upgrade, good way to stay current and learn.

FredsTech1 from YouTube

• Asked about unattended upgrades.
• Leo and Dan both use them. By default they just apply security updates but Dan turns them on for everything.
• The Ubuntu Docs

siljrath from YouTube

• I thought I signed up. Anyone know when thundermail happens?

Conan Kudo

• In my experience: people who are less familiar with system installations don't have problems with Anaconda's hub-and-spoke model.

Amanita from Patreon

• It is impossible to Backport everything. Using the latest software is best but using LTS or ESR solutions is also good.

redvamp128 from YouTube

• You guys should probably do an episode on the history of puppy Linux
• It has a good possibility for next season. Stay Tuned!
