Tried to upgrade from 24.04 LTS to 26.04 LTS, broke the OS, had to reinstall everything
It wasn't too bad tbh, I back up my files in case this sort of thing happens. But yeah, everything just kind of broke.
I was about to do a do-release-upgrade, but I backed out last minute as I wasn't too confident proceeding. About a day or so later, I saw almost every app in my Discovery update channel needing an update for something Ubuntu related. It was like 2,000+ things to update. I thought that was weird, but tried to update anyway.
It crashed multiple times, and during the final try my audio drivers went out. I did a force restart (I know I probably shouldn't have, but I'm impatient) and I couldn't boot into the OS anymore.
I kept my 24.04 LTS drive so I just reinstalled and redownloaded everything, but good lordt that was annoying.
