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’ve done it on 2 machines now and I’ve had absolutely 0/2 luck upgrading.
The first one restarted and dropped me down to a try shell after the upgrade with nothing more, and I had to use chatgpt to be able to fix it. I had forgotten that I tried cinnamon years ago and so it got confused selecting the old greeter or the new and just didn’t pick any. Then none of the cosmic apps were installed. Very very rocky experience.
The dropped me back to a try as well, but I had never customized this one so I was even more confused what went wrong and still don’t know. That upgrade screwed up local authentication so much that even using a live cd to repair it didn’t work, so I was forced to fresh install.
I love pop, but this is not a good upgrade experience at all
