Rumored ’MacBook’ will be cheaper, use iPhone chip, more Apple tends to develop products with years-long timelines, and thanks to leaks, it’s rare for a product to entirely surprise.

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-02-25 09:54:00

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET If you use a Linux distribution based on Debian or Ubuntu, the upgrade path is almost always painless. I've had maybe one Ubuntu upgrade in over a decade that had problems, and even that was a fairly straightforward fix. But not all Linux distributions are created equal, and some are more challenging than others. Some distributions even make the upgrade process more difficult, and a few give users fair warning about why it's important to stay informed
