      Ubuntu "forces" you to either the LTS or the current path. As long as you keep your LTS up to date, every two years you get the option temporarily to switch to current and vice versa. But you can only effectively do it safely when LTS and current are the same (25% of the time) or at least in the official current support window (50% of the time.) If you are outside of that window (now) then you have problems.

        OIC - so there is a window of roughly 1 year to update from one LTS to the next, afterwhich you could have big problems moving.

          This is why I do not use Ubuntu unless the applications requires it..

            It's been put off to long..

            upgrading the Ubuntu 20.04 to current... wonder what I break in the process.

            That'll be tough potentially as some of the steps are no longer provided by the repos.

            It wasn't horrible - I had to search up the process since it's a process I don't do often. But changing LTS to Normal allowed updating...

              Just avoid LTS and you are all good.

                Okay, that only works sometimes. Depending on how out of date it is and where your mirrors are.

                  Get beyond the LTS to something really out of date -- say a full LTS or two behind and yeah, that will be a fun time.

                                          Actually, no. Self-hosting now. Last time I did this, I got absolutely torn alive by spammers within 24 hours. It's been a little over 48 hours since I got set up, and my spam stuff seems to be doing the job, although I don't have a lot of email coming to me, lol.

                                          Postfix+Dovecot+Rspamd is the setup this go round. Using NextCloud for webmail, and K9 for my mobile.
