I'm much happier with a rolling distribution. iirc I started with 39 and the box is now at 42. There were no problems with the upgrade process itself. There was a couple of weeks of instability related to KDE/Plasma/Wayland/Qt. That is a problem with a distro that has a fixed release cycle. Do you include packages that aren't quite ready for prime time, or wait for the next release? I have to admit Ubuntu 25.10 to 26.04 went smoother than prior Ubuntu upgrades. It bitched about the existing dotnet 6.0 but installed dotnet 9.0.108. I manually got rid of 6.0. You can have multiple versions but it adds to the confusion. I wound up with multiple PostgreSQL versions and that was confusing enough. Each successive version uses the next value for PGPORT.
