<\/span><\/h2>\nTo perform the update, we need to install the update tool.<\/p>\n
\r\napt update\r\napt install mintupgrade\r\n<\/pre>\nAnd then start.<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo mintupgrade\r\n<\/pre>\nThis is followed by a few steps for installation and checks. For example, I found packages from external sources that could lead to problems. These are essentially manual deb packages.<\/p>\n
I uninstall them to be on the safe side, but it is annoying.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The update is simulated and in the next step, packages are also reported again. This time, however, I simply ignore this. If I end up undermining half of them manually, I might as well reinstall the system.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Even though it is of course nice to be warned of problems, less demanding users are likely to be more concerned. Windows also irons itself out regardless of losses.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Now the update finally started. In the application window, you can only see a spinning progress. The output takes place in the terminal. Many text messages rattle through, here and there a red one.<\/p>\n
The process took just under an hour. At the end, we were asked to restart. Fortunately, this worked and the system started with the new version.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\nLet’s put it this way, the user experience could be even better here. You can tell that the developers are being rather cautious here. But it is annoying when packages have to be uninstalled beforehand in order to have to reinstall them later.<\/p>\n
It’s not a Windows update after all.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
