<html><head></head><body>I don't upgrade the base OS often because I have a bunch of extra stuff that would necessarily need to either update or get recompiled. I don't like spending precious time getting things working again. I want to get them working once and enjoy using them.<br>
<br>
My SOP is to update the system every 30-90 days unless I hit a bug in something I use... That will get me to update some stuff sooner. I won't upgrade the OS until at least 12 months if not 18, because that breaks lots of things and takes much more time than an in-OS update.<br>

This will be my primary system once I install and migrate from my current Fedora 23 system. Normally I like to jump 3 releases at a time, but Fedora 26 isn't ready yet. But the beta is coming out Tuesday (and final is due in July)..<br />
<br />
So.. pros and cons.. install f26-beta on Tuesday and hope nothing breaks. Might require frequent updates and reboots. But very likely to get bugs fixed. Or install F25, and then either keep that until EOL and then update to 27 (or delay for 28).. or just update to 26 in July..<br />
<br />
What does the peanut gallery think. I've honestly never been in this situation. All new laptops previously have been strongly into a single version .. and the 18-month update cycle fits into my 3-year refresh cycle. :-)<br />
<br />
Thanks. Happy weekend.<font color="#888888"><br />
