Upgrading distros after a couple years of stagnation is a huge pain point. Why can't i skip versions in the middle?
Also for some strange reason, my both my PC and laptop with ubuntu freezed multiple times during update. Even while copy a large number of files, it happened. The workaround was to use tty thingy and skip UI completely.
Also, lack of proper errors could be another thing, while updating my distro, I kept getting strange errors that linux-firmware could not be updated. It took multiple bricks (including breaking filesystem and booting with usb to fix it) for me to realize the issue was, i was using a custom kernel mod for wifi devices that I installed 6 years ago cuz of a bug in kernel (which was fixed in versio 6.1+ i believe) and the error it was giving was reaaaally not helpful
