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.
