What do you mean by "instance"?

Years ago, I would sometimes try out different Linux distributions, and one thing I remember seeing with a few distributions is that one version would install smoothly and things would work out of the box on my PC, but then I'd try to install the next version and some of the things that were working in the previous version (such as the GUI auto-detection of hardware or networking) would not work in the newer version, for whatever reason.  I haven't experienced that in quite a while though.  I've been running Linux Mint on a secondary PC for about 8 or 9 years now, and it has been very stable, and upgrades have worked without a problem.
