Am I too old ?

Am I getting to old for this or has nobody got the slightest idea what stability is these days ?

Don't kid yourself that LTS is stable either. I have experienced several incidences of Ubuntu LTS breaking the kernel/initrd for the next boot or failing to load suitable SATA drivers into the init rd and breaking the next boot.

It also fails to keep a copy of the last known good kernel and init rd as any change in initramfs tools or a kernel module or boot loader gubbins makes it rebuild the lot.
