<div>@Khalid I did notice that the .x releases of LTS were about
when it was good to jump on board too. Although there have
been the odd years I think 14.04 that they didn't have a .x
release but I don't recall exactly.</div>

<div dir="ltr">If anyone's interested.. I've
been running the Bionic Beaver in beta for
over a week now (just for a short while in a
VM each day, not as my primary machine), and
so far I like what I'm seeing. Seems to be
much happier than 17.10.

<div>But if you decide to install 18.04, be
sure to grab GNOME Tweaks as soon as you can
so you can change the dock to dash-to-dock
and move it to the bottom of the screen.
The way they have it set up on the left is
just confusing.</div>

<div>I believe that the actual release date is
in the last week of April.</div>
