<br>
14.04 will be out on 17 April ( Thursday this week), support is until 2019<br>
<br>
Could be your Long Weekend project, install 14.04<br>
<br>
I have been using it for aprox 2 months<br>
<br>
I don't have an SSD, but support for things like SSDs, should be better<br>
<br>
I don't know if you like Unity, I do, and it has improved<br>
<br>
Don't know what apps you use, here are some apps to install in 14.04<br>
shutter - feature-rich screenshot program<br>
classicmenu-indicator - drop down menu - creates an Ubuntu Icon top right<br>
glabels - label, business card and media cover creation program for GNOME<br>
gimagereader - A graphical GTK frontend to tesseract-ocr - OCR<br>
<br>

<div>Your experienced comments please:</div>

<div>I have reverted to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS after some bad experiences with 12.10. My 12.04 is still doing fine and support is until 2017, so the question is perhaps premature, however, I am planning to transfer to a SSD (solid state drive) shortly and would appreciate
some feedback to help me decide whether I should remain with 12.04 or upgrade to a newer version, especially considering that the next LTS version has been available for some time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Many thanks,</div>
