Keep in mind that elementary is doesn’t provide an in place upgrade path between major versions, I didn’t realize this when I set it up for my parents so they’ve been stuck on one major version since I can’t backup, fresh install, and restore remotely.
Sadly too many Linux distributions do that. Linux Mint didn’t for the longest time.
That is such an utterly awful user experience I am shocked it still exists currently.
It’s kinda to be expected for the thing only enthusiasts claim is super easy to use, but still.
It‘s a major reason advanced users go with rolling release distros.
Wow, I didn’t realize that
I upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1 without issue. I think it’s only major versions that didn’t support upgrades.
