To prevent these events is recommended that you format your hard drive with
at least 2 partitions: root (/) and User (/ home). I still use a partition
"swap" but it seems that this is no longer necessary. So in case you have
to reinstall the system at least you do not lose your data or settings of
installed programs.
I have done updates on my Xubuntu since 12.04 (12.10, 13.04, 13.10 and
14.04), without big problems. Some bugs like missing the directory
/media/user or applet climate, but easily fixed. Of all the upgrades the
former was the quickest and cleanest. Thanks to the Developers!
