This is my first post. I don't like to post. However, I've used ubuntu and a few other linux versions for more than 10 years. I used to be able to build a VM, install ubuntu, and be running in about 30 minutes. Now I can't do that in a day (or unfortunately, sometimes days, or even weeks...!). I'm old school. Back in the day, if an install didn't work, I'd discard it, select an alternative, and move on. This particular problem, generating all this commotion, isn't quality work. I understand linux is a volunteer effort, however frankly, what's the point if it won't install, can't upgrade, and/or routinely breaks without warning nor apparent reason. I've lost all trust in ubunu, and now am looking for alternatives. This is a very sad commentary, routinely in past I'd recommend and implement ubuntu as a solution with great confidence, now I can't. I can't afford all the time and uncertainty in trying again and again to use this anymore.

So, thank you all for the past ~10 years + of good, dependable code, and Good bye!
