Is Ubuntu 22.04 stable enough to be used on a laptop I use for school?
@Xalef
I'm probably gonna wait because Nextcloud client isn't packaged for it yet and I don't want to compile it myself.
I remember though that 20.04 had some serious bug right after launch.
@Xalef There is, but not for 22.04 because it isn't out yet

@matrix
Any particular reason why you want 22.04 instead of 21.10?
@alyx
It's not LTS so I would have to upgrade soon and I never had a positive experience with dist-upgrade. Something always broke.
@matrix
And I'm guessing 21.04 is too old? If you really want more up to date software I honestly wouldn't go for Ubuntu in the first place. If stability is more important just stick with 21.04 or 21.10. A beta could give you more headaches than dist-upgrade if you're unlucky.
@alyx
It's not that it's old. It's that it's gonna stop getting updates soon and I don't want to update it or reinstall it to the LTS in a few months
@matrix If we were closer to 22.04 release date, I'd say go for it. But we're not even half way there... What I'd do, install either 21.04/21.10, then dist-upgrade or reinstall in may/june, when I'm sure any possible 22.04 launch bugs have been dealt with.
In any case, Ubuntu is a pain with it's releases. I definitely don't miss it.
@matrix I got through college on Gentoo (and later a half-assed LFS-in-an-initramfs kind of thing.)
Stuff is as stable as you make it.
