That'll be tough potentially as some of the steps are no longer provided by the repos.

About to get outside and do some filming. It's a "gorgeous" day. I could use some not gorgeous days for a change, though.
Wanna trade? 54F here, been raining since midnight, gonna keep on raining...
Man, 54F and rain sounds like nice. I just went to my salsa class and it is 96F and humid.
One day it's 70 and sunny and in thirty-six hours it snowed...
Are you sure you don't mean 36 minutes later it snowed ?

LTS updates exist. But not LTS to current when LTS is not current.

Ubuntu "forces" you to either the LTS or the current path. As long as you keep your LTS up to date, every two years you get the option temporarily to switch to current and vice versa. But you can only effectively do it safely when LTS and current are the same (25% of the time) or at least in the official current support window (50% of the time.) If you are outside of that window (now) then you have problems.

OIC - so there is a window of roughly 1 year to update from one LTS to the next, afterwhich you could have big problems moving.

This is why I do not use Ubuntu unless the applications requires it..

It wasn't horrible - I had to search up the process since it's a process I don't do often. But changing LTS to Normal allowed updating...

Just avoid LTS and you are all good.

Okay, that only works sometimes. Depending on how out of date it is and where your mirrors are.

Get beyond the LTS to something really out of date -- say a full LTS or two behind and yeah, that will be a fun time.
