Have you ever upgraded the Ubuntu laptop? Cause that's my main gripe with Ubuntu. Server upgrades work, desktop upgrades never did for me.
I can't speak for plain Ubuntu, but I've got desktops running both Kubuntu and KDE Neon that have been upgraded version to version for over a decade now. (Ok I lie. The Kubuntu one is a laptop.)
I wonder about this. I have been running Ubuntu on one of my laptops for years, and updated it several times withouth hitch. All the way from around 18.10 to 22.04 (non-lts, so I upgraded to every release) until the laptop was replaced.
Usually the breakage happens if one has tons of shitty third-party repos and thus will get package conflicts when upgrading. And those are solved by removing/replacing all software installed from those repos and then after upgrade reinstalling them again if needed.
I started my PC on Ubuntu 16 and upgraded it through the years alll the way up to 24. Never had an issue. Mainly use it for plex and for Dolphin emulator (for the kids)
Well I haven't used Ubuntu in quite a while, so my anecdote is probably just way outdated. But now there are so many other good offerings I see no reason to come back.
