Comment on Holiday Upgrade Disasters
Cyber@feddit.uk 1 week agoYeah, that’s a great idea for work.
But, for personal stuff, this is often the only time available…
I “had” to free up space (0 bytes free) on a woefully underpowered Win11 laptop for the father-in-law. I swear it was originally Win7, so it’s been upgraded a couple of times, but no, Linux is a step too far for him… crawling Win11 is his wish…
I’m now mid-upgrade for my Mum’s laptop (Mint 21 --> 22), but with a full clonezilla backup image on standby!
Ah, it’s the “holidays”… for some…

0 bytes free is a broken environment. So that requires a fix during moratorium IMO.
Mint 21 still has support until 2027, so not exactly needed…but I get it when you only see certain family members during specific times of the year.
I’m just saying doing a full migration from ESXI to Proxmox and having to backup all VMs and import them or recreate and doing this during the holidays…I’d rather just sit on the couch and enjoy family time than be stuck in my garage or glued to my laptop.
Upgrading a family member’s laptop while shooting the shit with everyone while drinking a beer or something is just fine. Don’t need 100% focus, you’re good there man.

Yep, although I tend to avoid partition resizings whilst on the whisky 😉
