It's not the upgrading process that's the problem. It's that the newer
software tends to be broken in anything but the default configuration.
I upgraded my girlfriend's desktop to F21 and it's literally unusable
now. She has to use her laptop instead (which is also barely usable
due to unwanted UI changes forced onto end users). Modern Linux is
becoming like Apple - "we know what's best for you, and if you don't
like that, you're wrong".
