Upgrade experience
by rclark from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FTA0)
I upgraded KUbuntu from 23.04 to 23.10 the other day on one of my workstations. 30 minutes later I was on 23.10. I could find no problems that I had to solve with the upgrade. Even the Nvidia driver (notorious for problems) continued to work fine. VMs just worked as well.
Also last week, I upgraded my dad's laptop from LTS 20.04 to 22.04 KUbuntu. Again once completed, the system had no problems that I could find or needed to solve.
Upgrades have come a long ways. I can still remember the times, an upgrade attempt usually meant a 're-install' or at very least a bunch of fixups.
That said, I always backup everything I want to save before upgrading. Not that trusting -- ever ;) .
Just passing along a 'good' experience :D .
