   I upgraded to Mint 20 "Ulyana" without hesitating. I thought it would be    
   great, but shortly afterwards I noticed my CD/DVD ROM was no longer working,    
   and neither was my sound card.   
      
   There's a few ways to upgrade - I did it the online way, where there was no    
   USB or DVD involved. Maybe I messed something up along the way, but ending up    
   without hardware support was a nasty surprise.   
      
   So then I installed the latest version of Ubuntu, and all my hardware is    
   working again. On top of that, Ubuntu is smoother than it was 10 years ago;    
   it's got less bloat on the desktop, even less than Mint 19 had.   
      
   On a fresh install, Mint has a bunch of quirks that I always needed to hammer    
   out. But not Ubuntu - it's smooth as can be.
