I suspect Ubuntu (even after 18.04) will still randomly tap my shoulder and complain about my full /boot partition -.-

yes - and the best solution I found is a long and cryptic series of commands involving "apt-get purge" ... as long as those kind of issues bother users Linux is practically not usable for non-technicians.

No fractional scaling still. ‍️Why?

Afaik they rolled back wayland, 18.04 uses Xorg. So maybe that's why.

Weird, I am still getting "No new release found." when running `do-release-upgrade`... EDIT: Found the answer in another comment: > I also learned that there's an official plan for 18.04.1, to be released July 26th. This is the release that will prompt 16.04 LTS for an upgrade. In other words, the official upgrade path for an LTS is to wait for the first patch release, and not upgrade immediately. So I'm considering…

If you really want to upgrade, you can run `do-release-upgrade --devel-release` (or just -d), which will get you from 16.04 to 18.04. Apparently, 18.04 is considered an development level release from the perspective of 16.04? (I don't really know what I'm talking about here.)

Upgrades between LTS versions are officially supported until the .01 of the newest LTS afaik (so you'll get the update prompt when 18.01 is released)
