I don't want to do do-release-upgrade -d because I don't want the development version.

do-release-upgrade -d on 12.04 will upgrade you to 14.04, not to a development version. I believe the -d switch is best thought of as "upgrade to the next version, even if it isn't released/activated for the tool to upgrade to without -d".

14.10 was just released.

I typically use the development versions of Kubuntu, starting about a month or two after the previous stable release. I've been doing this since Kubuntu 9.something, and for some reason it just never occurred to me to upgrade to the Utopic development branch from Trusty. Kubuntu 14.04 just seems ... complete.

On the other hand, I booted up the Plasma 5 spin of Kubuntu 14.10, and drat. There were a lot of rough edges with Plasma 5 (the libraries/widgets/desktop environment/etc. that will be KDE 5) even up to a few weeks ago, but everything looks fantastic now. I might have to try it out, but I want to make sure that the 3.16 kernel in Utopic doesn't have the btrfs bugs that I've seen described on the btrfs mailing list recently.

16.04 doesn't have anything colossal that I know of, besides moving up to 4.4 for the kernel.

systemd, Plasma (KDE) 5, Python 3.5
