A perfect marriage: YOU and Ubuntu 16.04

You should be dreading the next few weeks...

I used to install Ubuntu on friends PC's and laptops, and they loved it. Not only that, they trusted it.

For me, that was a Godsend as all my time around their gaffs was spent socialising and not as it used to be:- ripping bits of Microsoft out; polishing it with some spit and then hammering it back in again with fingers crossed.

Problem was, that unbridled trust of everything Linux extended to them hitting "Yes", when Ubuntu offered up its next incantation and then I'd be back to fixing and not mixing.

Mint has never announced to the user a quick one click upgrade to its new shiny shiny and thus a fixed PC has invariably stayed fixed.

Those of you who fix friends computers with Ubuntu, might be getting fevered calls over the next few weeks as they merrily venture into unknown territory. Unless of course Ubuntu has stopped enticing the feckless into undoing your handy work.
