@Gargron the only thing that broke when I upgraded any of my machines to Bionic was that sshd wouldn't start on what because I told it not to update the config file because I thought I could check it laterSo, nothing that could go wrong on a desktop you have physical access to, at least that I've experienced.

@Gargron It's better to do a fresh installation, isn't it?

@Gargron I've been on Windows with VMs for the last few years, because wrangling Linux video drivers was too much for me.are you playing Overwatch on Ubuntu? How is the driver situation these days?

Upgrade complete but the docked applications launcher I had at the bottom of the screen is gone and I don't remember if it was an extra thing I installed or what. Does anyone have any pointers

Okay it was a gnome extension called "simple dock" and it was amazing and it isn't working right now for some reason.

Alright, had to download it and install from source, the Gnome extensions website doesn't seem to be doing anything anymore.Now just need to figure out the terrible new font Ubuntu comes with

@Gargron Sounds just like upgrading macOS, new system font in every release and third-party apps mysteriously break 😂

@Gargron they moved away? to what?I've been using Canatrell since it plays nice on smaller screens (rather ones with HiDPI)

@jalcine I think it was Canatrell, it started with C and had an r with it but I didn't bother to read it properly

Okay, I had to remove all Ruby gems and reinstall them because the native extensions needed to be recompiled

@staticsafe Maybe I need to recompile Ruby itself. It complains about readline headers even though libreadline-dev is installed

@Gargron yes, you need to rebuild ruby, library versions changed so the linkage breaksas for bundle,bundle install --force will reinstall and rebuild all gems with native extensions

@Gargron Sometimes source can be a pain for me, but I do love most of what is Ubuntu. Have Ubuntu Mate, Peppermint OS and Kubuntu on one large desktop. Then Chromebooks. Love Linux.

@Gargron Did you used Ubuntu Tweak or such, it gives you different menus to use.

@Gargron Hey! I'm planning to do the same next week, and the reason I'm putting it off is I've never had a smooth experience with LTS upgrades, and always end up doing a clean install.Please keep us posted!

@GargronMight have something to do with them doing Gnome rather than Unity in newer versions.
