Hello All
It is known that Lite does not upgrade from 3.x to 4 and so on.
To have a better understanding on why so many distros cannot upgrade across major versions, could Lite devs or someone explain why such release upgrades are difficult or impossible?
Thx

Quite simply put for Ubuntu based distros, sudo do-release-upgrade has a high failure rate and is an extremely complex process that requires specific intervention for each pc. I doubt there's a dev in existence who would dare take on the task of writing GUI software for this process. You could pay me $10k and I still wouldn't do it.

Just installed kernel 4.19 and cannot wait for LL 4.2 - it comes out before Xmas fortunately
It is up to you guys if you can / can afford / cannot support Linux Lite project, and we all have
our special situations. If you have a few dollars /euros etc. extra, just help the team, you help
yourself by doing so.
[member=2]Jerry[/member] , the LL team and all the LL users: I am sorry if have made some inappropriate comments
here. I am an old guy and I have a business-oriented background, where people usually say
(out of their mouths) what they think at that moment. I understand that these forums have
different rules and I apologize if I have been rude.
Also, what comes to my post about youtube, I didn't realize at that moment that we have different
laws about downloading content there, depending on in which country we live in.
With that said, I hope I've learned my lesson
You're welcome to say what you think, that is indeed my style, but it should be balanced with politeness. Welcome back
Thx very much for the infos.
Since Ubuntu itself supports upgrades across releases or LTS, I was hoping that even Ubuntu derivatives like LL will support it. I guess I dont have enough knowledge about Linux to understand why Ubuntu can, but Ubuntu derivatives cannot.
Rgds,
