Comment 4 for bug 939461

Very severe problem. novice users will never handle such a problem. They will end up with an old google-chrome for example and their paid app (ex stormcloud) will never update again.

That problem prevents me from suggesting any distribution update and of course with such a small support period for non-LTS releases, i would not recommend anything else but an LTS release for non experimental use of course but for a ordinary desktop. My self returned all my devices to 12.04 LTS so i dont have to reinstall the extra software (to enable the deactivated ppa) every 6 months.
