I have used popos for many years on my desktop and laptop and I’m a little worried about upgrading to the 24.04 version and was planning to wait until mid Jan. when hopefully the upgrade will be officially “stable”, i.e. with a nice little upgrade-notification. But now Spotify has released a version that requires a newer version of glibc so currently the apt-version of Spotify won’t run on my machines. So, how has it been for you? Have you upgraded without problems or did you do a fresh install ?

    I’m not on PopOS, but as a general rule of thumb always do a backup before a major version upgrade. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

      Yeah, I have backups of /home and have switched from almost all distros through the years and have made things work. But this is the first time I’ve actually cared about my setup since maybe an early gentoo install on an old laptop 20 years ago that I really put a lot of time and love in :)
