    I’m at the point where I actually don’t want to reinstall anymore, because it’s a pain in the ass. I’m still on Ubuntu 20.04, even though the new LTS version has been out for more than a year by now. Ubuntu’s current direction doesn’t exactly give me an incentive to update, either, but to actually rectify that situation I’d need to reinstall as well.

        I’d rather switch to Debian, TBH. Derivative distros (or rather double-derivative) like PopOS don’t feel all that safe to me.

          Debian with the wonder of containers! Of course for my laptop I’m just going to have to run something very modern but that’s not really debians fault.

      Backup all your config files, reinstall OS, restore config files. Done. When I do it, the whole process takes a half hour tops. Let me know if you need help with that.
