EDIT: Tried again today, and the specific error I get when trying to update via Software Center, which then prevents any further updating:
http:// archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 libsmbclient amd64 2:4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu1.8 is not (yet) available (404 Not Found)
I've mostly stayed on elementaryOS 7.x, which is actually the best Linux I've ever tried for my use case. It's the closest Linux to what I would like my computer to feel like, and for a while I was running it almost as a daily driver for about 50% of my work (with Windows / mac for the rest). But the elementaryOS 8.x series was far too buggy on my system, even the dock was unusable for too long (though apparently now resolved). Having to reinstall the OS with each major version is awkward too, even when I run my Linux installs off a USB stick for easy switching.
This is a common theme with Ubuntu and every Ubuntu-based distro - they all eventually break when doing updates.
