Will upgrade soon. As a Windows convert I *ucking hate Snap haters which made my favourite apps available out of the box and will abandon Ubuntu if it dumps Snap like Unity. However, the fixes for problems/limitations and improvements should be coming at least 2x faster.

Do I get drag and drop back?

Not until snap stops getting pushed.

Already migrated to 20.10 and happy with it but beware that nvidia-340 drivers fail to install due to a compile error against the new kernel (5.8) so I have to wait with nouveau drivers for a while.

I enjoyed Ubuntu w/ KDE 18.04, 18.10, 19.04, 19.10 but after upgrading to 20.04, i lost the use of my PS3 controller via Bluetooth and still struggling to get it to work. I also no longer could get my PS4 controller to sync wirelessly, so I have no intentions to upgrading until I have my controllers working again. I play a lot of steam games on it, and because of that, i don't think I'll be upgrading any time soon.

Most of my computers are running 20.04. I may try 20.10 on an older spare machine to see what it's like, if I have time. I used to stay with the bleeding edge, upgrading every six months, but now I have passed 80, I tend to stick with the LTS releases.

I hate exciting distros... And 20.10 is pretty exciting!
I'll wait until 22.04, then wait for a couple of months for the bugs to be fixed, then I will upgrad. Nevertheless I really want to see gnome 40, maybe I will have arch in a VM side by side to test new stuff instead.

If it isn't a long term distro I won't upgrade to it.

I've been on Pop 20.04 since I bought my PC this year. I have no plans to change anything since I'm very happy with the .04 version. I'll wait until end of life or the next LTS. It depends on how good the next LTS is.

I tried upgrading from 19 to 20 with a clean install. It was such a pain in the butt I reinstalled 19. So many little quirks and out right bugs. I gave up trying to fix a DNS leak with OpenVPN and reinstalled 19. 20 felt like installing Windows! Only difference, usually someone has to pay me to install Windows for them!

No, I'm afraid it will kill my dual boot. Ubuntu on NVME drive. Windows 10 on SSD. Not a technical enough user to upgrade and navigate that mess.

No man, LTS these days.

I will have to do much more digging and plumbing into its guts, to make that final determination. My present issue with 20.04 is this:
I have Ubuntu Studio, maxed out with about 20 assorted games, 15 audio production apps aside from what studio normally cones with. 15 add on office productivity apps aside from libre office, and 20 different graphics design apps, again outside of what comes standard for studio, all this is running on an Acer E1 series touchscreen laptop, (that formerly was running Windows 8.1 ,then windows 10. W 8gb ram.
The main problem i am having is everytime, I close the lid it goes into screen off mode and doesn't return from it! This leaves me with the rather undesirable option to just force power off the laptop. Killing whatever, work i had left open. A most aggravating situation to be sure!

As far as it implies the upgrade to Thunderbird 78 which is incompatible with most plugins (real crap) I cannot upgrades this time

When i upgrade to ubuntu20.1 suddenly my gnome radio & gnome screen recorder does not work. Pls fix. Thank you.
I appreciate all non lts releases due their improvements, features introduced, experimentation erc etc. But I love the stability of an LTS for production systems. Won't be updating til 22.04

Well, I'd pref5 to stick with LTS. Because i have faced the initrams fs, bootloader, backup failure, memory problem, crashes when ever i installed non LtS OS. Data can be extracted from bootable pendrive but to make it a linux compatible OS bootable pendrive, you need another Linux pc which is hard to find. Sorry if this sounds beginners knowledge.

The latest and greatest, for sure! Bug fixes, new features, new options, new new new!
@Dennis
You don't need to reinstall every 6 months at all. You change the mentions of your current ubuntu distro (e.g. focal) in /etc/sources with one command (to e.g. groovy), then update as usual and it will change everything over to the new distro. True, you may need to smooth things over with some inspection - allow this old package to be removed, put these new ones in, make sure dependencies are all good - which is all but certain on final release - but nothing as drastic as reinstalling. Just make sure you're getting the new multiverse, universe, main and restricted and you'll have access to everything.

Neither do I ????
I personally stay with the LTS's. I am not a fan of re-installing my operating system every 6 months.
