Upgrade was a disaster as usual

 > I never fully understood why a individual user would use LTS.

There's a good reason for it, which is any software that works is 
warranted to continue working. And that's pretty interesting for both 
the user and the producer.

Most software that is libre is community maintained, without any 
corporation behind it but individuals. Having to check if all that 
software breaks itself every six months proves to be stressful, leading 
many applications in the universe repository intermittently unusable.

Summarising, it's very different that your software breaks because of 
you changing the code than for the code it depends breaking. Where 
applications would benefit from continuous improvement, for the base 
system it's more important to be predictable than to be featured.

This is why snaps were created, for being able to continually upgrade 
applications in LTS while keeping the base system predictable. It's just 
they are been deployed right now.

Many times there has been a bug, even when it affected a minority of 
people, Teo came here bullshitting this community. Till he even got 
banned from this mailing list and Launchpad, then he created other 
account for continuing.

Let me tell you something, those legit reasons have become an excuse for 
bullshitting. It really doesn't matter if it's Ubuntu or political 
issues, the goal is keeping oneself in that mood.

That said, in eight years using the regular Ubuntu release as my only 
desktop operating system, I have only experience upgrade problems once. 
The same goes for all the people I have installed Ubuntu in their 
computers, they have always been able to upgrade.

Since Teo is experiencing those problems continuously, and mostly when 
upgrading to alpha releases, I'm even considering if he isn't simply 
paid for anti-marketing here as the cyberattacks we have been 
experiencing are. Curiously both started at the same time.
