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

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

Conan Kudo

Amanita from Patreon

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

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