Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

For one thing, snaps.
More options and configuration flexibility, longer support historically from the community, including security, etc. If youre going to do a huge dist-upgrade, you're bordering on reinstall territory as is, which is why I mention it.
Ubuntu will be more willing to incorporate newer updates more quickly, Debian will be a more consistently stable upgrade path, avoids unnecessary services from install so less attack vectors and less security update needs from the jump.
So it doesn't solve any of the issues that prevent me from upgrading? And I really don't think that reinstalling is more convenient than doing two major upgrades in a row - sure it's less data used, but it's definitely not going to be faster to install all the applications and non-default packages I use because I'd have to do that manually, plus I use quite a few flatpaks that probably wouldn't be touched at all by upgrading the OS.
Hey, you do you. Good luck with the upgrade.
