when you upgrade an OS, do you clean install or upgrade? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I almost always prefer clean installation when possible, while making sure to backup important content from highly accessed folders like Desktop, Downloads and Documents (on Windows), for example.

Which Invidio.us instance would you recommend? I'm looking for one that's the most stable and relatively fast compared to other instances. Also, I believe it's also geography dependent because instances don't have CDNs?

Yes. I updated my uBlock Origin and it seems to skip through YouTube video ads for now. But I'm sure YouTube's team is hard at work trying to overcome the new workaround. This is essentially going to be a tech arms race, lol.

I use Windows 10 LTSC (the Enterprise edition with long-term updates and way less bloat) for this very reason. It's the most tolerable version of Windows for me and I'm not planning to make the switch to Windows 11 anytime soon.
