Feedback

ukwan from YouTube

  • Just kept running 18.04 to 2024. Just switched to ESM and kept going.

jliljj from YouTube

  • I'd go for the upgrade, good way to stay current and learn.

FredsTech1 from YouTube

  • Asked about unattended upgrades.
  • Leo and Dan both use them. By default they just apply security updates but Dan turns them on for everything.
  • The Ubuntu Docs

siljrath from YouTube

  • I thought I signed up. Anyone know when thundermail happens?

Conan Kudo

  • In my experience: people who are less familiar with system installations don't have problems with Anaconda's hub-and-spoke model.

Amanita from Patreon

  • It is impossible to Backport everything. Using the latest software is best but using LTS or ESR solutions is also good.

redvamp128 from YouTube

  • You guys should probably do an episode on the history of puppy Linux
  • It has a good possibility for next season. Stay Tuned!
