Probably going to get hate for this and reveal my age a bit, but i’ve been on Ubuntu since 2006 back when they’d actually mail you CDs for free. My desktop’s hardware has been a ship of theseus since then, and no dist-upgrade really ever broke things, and I think the last time I did a full OS reinstall was in like ~2011 when I got an SSD that was a smaller side than my old HDD, so I couldn’t just clone the drive with dd. Everything works well for what I need it for, and don’t need the bleeding edge.
