Before going home, decided to do an upgrade from ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04...

Leave it to do its charm.

*a morning later*
See laptop on off state, "hmm..."
Turning in on, *press power buton*
Booting... Purple-ish screen appear.. Nothing happened for 20 minutes.

"fck."

Hard reboot, going to grub menu,
1. Ubuntu*
2. Advance option

Choose ubuntu.
Booting...
"root mount not found, bla bla bla
Kernel panic..."

"fck."

15 chrome tabs later (on mobile),
Do something on shit...

Finally proceed to login screen.
Insert password, enter.

Loading... Blank... 3 seconds later, tadaaa.. Going back to login screen.
Do it trice, I'm stuck at login screen.

"fck."

20 chrome tabs later,

Finally got in. Have a "what's new" screen.

Ok, feels different... But its slow af. Hmm maybe reboot will do something.

Rebooting...

Login screen, insert password, enter..
3 seconds later..
Bam. Going back to login screen...

"fck."

Another chrome tabs later... Resolved the issue.

And finally I can take a breath, but still has a headache because of little thing likes:
1. Right click not working
2. Workspace not work as expected likes in 16.04
3. Screenshot behavior
4. No animation When moving a window to another workspace.

When almost anything is solved and I'm ready to do my works, I just realised something..

I just wasted 4 hours of my workday.

"fck."

    Hi I am an Arch Linux user. If you switch from Ubuntu to Arch you can have this kind of fun every time you update.

    Fast Linux upgrade: delete the system, keep /home and fresh install.

    Slow Linux upgrade: try to upgrade the system, get mysterious problems because something didn't work, then delete system, keep /home and fresh install.

    I had exact the same issue a while ago. Named it login loop of hell.

    @Haxk20 To be honest I only had a problem once or twice. But a little while ago I switched to Solus, so I am not even an Arch user anymore.

    Hi, do you have a moment to talk about NixOS?

    Sorry, I'll show myself out...

    Seriously though. Two years, running git master version of nixpkgs. Zero lost work time.
