What benefits would I see upgrading from 14.04 to 15.04 and what are some caveats? My system is pretty solid running on a dual core i5, 8gb, 512ssd, hd3000. I'm a newer Linux user and I don't do a lot of CLI foo, only How To's that seem interesting. Any thoughts on this issue? Should this be asked in the chat?
Ubuntu 14.04 was released as an LTS (Long Term Support) where it is stable, and the patches / updates will continue for years. Ubuntu 15.04 is a non-LTS release, and will only be supported for a short time, like a only a few months. I prefer the LTS releases for my everyday usage system, and when I want to test things out I use the non-LTS releases to check out the newer features that can be in future releases. I just have to remember that non-LTS are not stable, and can be prone to crashes and very little hardware support. Hope this helps.
