Maybe your Father knows what I know and that is: Don't listen to the hype, 12.04 is still supported, Ubuntu says by subscription but you can ride the subscription train for free if you have the sources. If he's using KDE 4.8.5, it's one of the best for looks and feel and most of the bugs have been fixed too. I'm on list so please don't send me personal email.

Why Stretch, it's going to be the system getting the most eyes on security. Cheers! -- Jimmy Johnson Debian Stretch - KDE Plasma 5.8.6 - AMD A8-7600 - EXT4 at sda6 Registered Linux User #380263
