If you are a user of a Ubuntu-based distribution such as Elementary OS, it’s better to wait a bit before doing a software update or clicking something marked “update” - this could damage your system!

This tip may apply to other Ubuntu-derived distributions, such as Linux Mint, so check your distribution’s website before starting to upgrade it.
