@KAutumnrain @rpardee Sigh. This just supports my move away from Ubuntu long ago.

Tragically, similar. I have this attachment to it because it was what I learned on when I was like 12, but post-Unity forced me to move to more verbose, less innately corporate horizons.

@KAutumnrain heh--I've only been running this a couple years, so still learning I guess.

Reading this: https://www.howtogeek.com/902519/what-is-ubuntu-pro/ I see that you're right that I could go ahead & enable the 'pro' in settings & get these updates w/out shelling out, which is cool.

But I'm wondering if this means I should move on to the next long-term-supported version of ubuntu? I wonder if I could do that update w/out completely wiping my system...

@rpardee
I think there's a setting you can tweak that keeps you on LTS versions, additonally. As far as I remember, it should be a simple version upgrade, no wipes, but ymmv with advantage/pro in the mix.

I'd recommend a testing VM or something to make sure, though, but I'm curious as well so I may do the same and report back.

@KAutumnrain ah, interesting. I no se habla VMs really. But I did google this up which looks convincing:

@Lucky188 @rpardee

In what language are you speaking?

@LnzyHou @rpardee I sorta like that you asked makes me feel like I haven't totally lost it. Ten years ago I would have been 'Oh sweet an operating system upgrade' and jumped right in. Now I'm more like "Not today Satan"....

While I try to navigate a new Logitech keyboard that lights the keys. My IT son sent to me to encourage writing.

@LnzyHou @Lucky188 Don't forget to periodically tell your watch that "we're in" 😆

@rpardee @LnzyHou It's Alive!
