I went from an Ubuntu 16.04 install all the way to 20.04 and they involved multiple hardware upgrades and a completely new system at one point, just swapped out the root/home drive.

Since then I've been on EndeavourOS with pretty much the same story.

With Windows 7 and 10 I had to constantly reinstall.

same!… heck work updated my laptop from win10 to 11 and now the "Windows App" won't run… IT dude gave up trying to fix it and order a swap

This is a laptop used, at most once a week, for regular office bs and it basically self destroyed just through windose updates
