    Looking sad so far. The system is a 2018 #dell XPS15. #Ubuntu installed fine. I could install all the software I needed. Everything was fine. It prompted a firmware update. It ran fine. System rebooted. Used it. Worked fine. Tried to boot today. Normal miscellaneous screens showing driver loading. Then nothing. Blank screen. I think it messed up BIOS firmware. I followed the BIOS recovery instructions. Nothing. Black screen. I migrated to Ubuntu because I don't want a new computer.

    @irfan The reason a lot of companies got away from the year-versions is because it clearly very dated their software. If they fell behind for whatever reason the public would assume that the product was 'outdated', 'low priority', and hold off on purchase.So the companies realized it was taking away control of the release cycle from them..so if they dedicate to just always release each year I suppose it makes ... meh sense; but I don't really see the advantage. It makes more sense for ubuntu because ubuntu is as much a snapshot of other FOSS software repo as Canonicals own software.
