    So far, so good. However, I'm pretty sure that pesky law enforcer, Murphy, is lurking nearby.

    I use Synaptic. You may have to do :
    sudo apt-get install synaptic
    Select Other Software, turn on "Canonical Partners"
    Select Updates, turn off Unsupported updates I have absolutely no idea why "unsupported updates" is the default Ubuntu setting??
    Personal preference, I set Automatically Check for Updates to "Never". I update usually daily on development release like Xenial when I want to, I do not like Automatic Update crashing in on whatever I'm doing, and Automatic Update "Partial Updates" have screwed me many times. I don't do those, I just do:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    works fine for me. Of course, in pre-release software like Xenial expect crashes...then do ubuntu-bug etc. to report problems to Launchpad.
    If you don't want crashes then stay on released Ubuntu's which is Wily or Trusty.LTS

    Greetings,
    I was kind of gung-ho a couple of week ago about running "Proposed" enabled. But what I have right now is so good I think I will coast with it for a bit. Actually, the best I have ever had, and on five year old equipment no less!

    My new box runs on 16.04 better than 14.04.4 even with Kernel 4.2. So... let the good times roll!

    I have one ubuntu-desktop system with proposed enabled and no problems so far but I would expect that somewhere down the road, unless we are familiar with the workings of some of the depends, that it will break.
