Re: [trinity-users] trying to avoid rebuilding whole system

while i'm here -- there was talk that there was something wrong with 16.04 and that 14.04 was preferable. as my current situation demonstrates, i'm not a big fan of upgrading distributions, and going only to 14.04 means i get to do this all over again in two years. so -- have the issues with 16.04 been ironed out, or is it still to be avoided?

Are you sure the problem with 16.04 wasn't about KDE users upgrading from a mature KDE4 to a buggy Plasma 5 rather than 14.04LTS itself?

What does Ubuntu offer a TDE user over the Debian base on which Ubuntu is based anyway?

Is going straight from 12.04 to 16.04 even supported? To keep trouble to a minimum or nil probably requires going to 14.04 first.
