Interesting - I haven't heard of that happening.  I've not used Ubuntu for
more than a few minutes at a time, and not long enough to upgrade it.

I need to give that Devuan a look one of these days.  Debian without 'systemd',
sounds like a winner.  I've been a Slackware user for a couple of decades, and
still am, mostly; although I'm starting to use MX Linux on a few machines,
including this new Framework laptop I'm on now.  Really like it a lot, it's
another Debian descendant without systemd.
