On Ubuntu, switched to plucky 25

I went to update the system76 drivers and got errors:

The repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/system76-dev/stable/ubuntu plucky Release' does not have a Release file.
Notice: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
Notice: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

I don't expect you to have a valid ppa for non-stable upgrades, but it would be super helpful if you discussed this more on your docs. It just says to download the drivers to keep the system optimized and I'm trying. May find a solution elsewhere but I'm already two hours into sporadically scouring and not finding a hack to it. I was hoping on working not troubleshooting.

(Aside, wanted to see if 25 had an updated GNOME. (This is mainly because I have big monitors and Ubuntu's GUI sucks on using a dual monitor setup where the other monitor is bigger than the laptop. Either the monitor content looks huge or the laptop content looks tiny.)
