It was running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (no Windows install). The machine is a HP Elitebook 640. A few quirks, but mostly seems to work fine. - do-release-upgrade first refused because I had pinned Terraform to the last release under the old license (we're leery of the new license and aren't ready to jump to OpenTofu yet)… fine, comment out Hashicorp repo… - then the PPAs and third party repos were causing issues… fine, rename the `.list` files to `.off`… - eventually it installs, but then barfs right at the end - I reboot, and `libnettle` is broken, taking /usr/lib/apt/methods/http with it - Manually download libnettle .deb on another machine, `scp` it across, `dpkg -i` and I could finish up what `do-release-upgrade` had failed on (`apt-get dist-upgrade -y` mostly) - reboot again, this time things are a lot happier - run `apt-get autoremove` to clear out the old junk - update and re-instate my old third-party repos, substituting `jammy` with `noble` - `apt-get dist-upgrade -y` again - boot out the `snap` packages for Firefox, Chromium and Thunderbird which crept in unwanted. 3 hours later, I have my workstation back. #Ubuntu
