My second rule of thumb is clone the partition, upgrade on the clone and test for weeks. Get sick with the clone upgrade and wait until next years upgrade.
My third rule of thumb is to not upgrade for security reasons :P. I upgrade for functionality and features. There will always be an attack of the week exposure. Look at the last round with reptoline it was a theory of memory leaks, no actual virus existed.
@RolandiXor I kind of think NSA is the biggest spy and the criminals are second place. Can't stop the NSA with their budget so why bother with security.
I'll use the same password on hundreds of websites which I remember. I shake my head at the people that make up special ones site by site and have to write them down on paper and slide into their desk drawer.
For instance, if everything is in place as it should be (I checked configuration files, logs, etc), and I've followed the documentation word for word - then wth man?
I don't know what to say learning Personal Home Page (PHP) and Structure Query Language (SQL) and HypeText Markup Language have been on my to-do list for decades but I'm kind of slow... still on grub, kernel and just started putting icons on any monitor...
Actually at little bit further, just got cron to call bash to download websites each morning and email me price changes. But still a long way from PHP and SQL.

I have used C for caching HDD to SSD PCIe like Intel RST but in Linux. And I have used Python for managing Grandfather, Father, Son daily backup generations in gmail.com email attachments but that is it in Linux and only because they were the only tools to accomplish the goals. Other than that I don't use those tools.
@blade19899 I'd congratulate you but I did not believe it took that much effort did it? :D I got mine handed over by just saying I worked with Xenix, Unix, SCO, and Linux for more than 20 years :P
I do :=) But I mostly use an interpreter for coding so it is a bit old skool. We are still switching and/or replacing our old software with equivalent python code.
Well Python is interpreted too. I had thought Python would be in my Ubuntu desktop learning future but now they are switching over to Gnome Java Script (gjs) which hopefully I'll start learning in 20.04.
A couple of days ago, I voted to close this qestion as off-topic.
It seems I'm still the only one who think it's off-topic, probably the question has been removed from the review-queue by another user.
The question is, as far as I see, about terminology and not related with Ubuntu, so my questi...
