So here I am a few days ago, sitting at my computer, working on a project, and a pop-up appears asking me that Ubuntu 22.04 had been release, asking if I wanted to upgrade to it. (Yes, I know that I can limit what I am notified of, I actually choose to know when the latest is available).
I think, "Sure, why not." and clicked through the plethora of buttons to get it up upgrade (agreeing to the upgrade no less than 3 or 4 times). So my machine goes into upgrading and I decide to let it do its thing. An hour or so later, I return and its at a login prompt, as it had rebooted. Only, the login page is now dark themed. Very nice!!! The upgrade results were starting off on a good note.
While its just a lot of packages that were upgraded, as well as the underlying software, I will say that there was an extremely annoying side-effect of this upgrade. I have some projects that I have setup, including having done pip installs of packages and such for the software. It seems that during the upgrade, all of those packages and settings went away. Seriously? Just *POOF*? What the heck, Ubuntu? Way to blow away my installs and configs.
So, I had to spend some time re-setting up the stuff I regularly used (and some I was working on). All of the items, by the way, were already using Python 3, so nothing except a newer version being installed.
I just wanted to share this annoyance, in case you are planning on upgrading. You will need to plan on some extra time, re-setting up some things once the upgrade completes.
