If you do not have a problem, simply invent one. This thread is about LM 19, not about LM 20.x.

It's called being off-topic. Let's stop.

I'm really scared about the U's! Just the names: Ulla! Umma! pretty sure Ursula...

Did you ever hear the expression off-topic? Or do you intentionally ignore the request to stop it? Such things belong somewhere in chat.

Hi,
Will there be a smooth upgrade path later from 18.3 to 19 OR is a fresh install required ?

Re: Linux Mint 19 codenamed “Tara”
I know with all previous versions, there was only an upgrade path for minor versions, ie 18.2 > 18.3. Upgrading from one major version to another (18 > 19), requires a fresh install.jeanpaulberes wrote: ⤴Sat May 05, 2018 10:37 am Hi,

I assume it will be the same. Since Linux Mint's base is always an Ubuntu LTS, major versions are always built on a new LTS (18s base was 16.04, 19 will be 18.04). I believe this is the main reason why a fresh install is required. Way to many possibilities for problems to arise when the new version is based off a completely new code-base.
I could be wrong and I feel like I MAY have read something about there being an upgrade path for 19, but I could of imagined that.

I've read that too, so it's most likely true.

Re: Linux Mint 19 codenamed “Tara”
It's an old issue with Optimus laptops. When using the Nvidia GPU, you have tearing watching videos online or offline, and also in games (the vsync option does not work).lordamit wrote: ⤴Thu May 03, 2018 1:25 amWhat tearing issue? o.O
I didn't have any problem from the start when I installed Linux Mint 18.3. I just had to install the necessary drivers from driver manager. Or maybe I didn't use the Nvidia graphics card enabled login enough, maybe. I use intel mode most of the time.
Compared to what I faced using my previous laptop (HP Pavilion DV5, another primus laptop) and Ubuntu - this is a bliss.
Also, for some reason, browsing the Internet is sluggish with the Nvidia GPU and faster with the Intel one.
Re: Linux Mint 19 codenamed “Tara”
It's great that 32-bit support continues, I plan on installing Mint on an older desktop computer with Windows XP and donating it (it runs very fast off of the Mint 18.3 Mate DVD boot).Derek_S wrote: ⤴Tue May 01, 2018 1:32 pm Just to put an end to the endless rumors, speculation, and hand wringing, 32 bit versions of LM19 Tara will be released: https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3555
A few other things I found surprising in that article included
1) the lack of home directory encryption support in Ubuntu 18.04. What does this mean? Mint 19 will possible not have home directory encryption? I will not upgrade if that is the case, unless it could be done after the OS is installed (ecryptfs).
2) Ubuntu sends telemetry data by default
Two of the biggest reasons I dumped Windows last year was the horrible security and worsening privacy (the other was that absurd "Documents and Settings" folder. appdata local roaming blah blah blah....Ughhh).
Re: Linux Mint 19 codenamed “Tara”
With every new release the "will there be an upgrade path" question gets asked about a hundred times. It's almost like no one actually reads the forum or blog post they are responding in
An upgrade path is always "planned". However, the new release isn't even done and out yet. Exactly how it will work, how much can be automated, how much the user might have to do manually, just isn't known until the release is done and we can try.

When I give opinions, they are my own. Not necessarily those of any other Linux Mint developer or the Linux Mint project as a whole.

Before we can try, this would be tested in the lab by the Tara testers ,then we would be advised about the processJosephM wrote: ⤴Mon May 07, 2018 2:27 am With every new release the "will there be an upgrade path" question gets asked about a hundred times.

+1 For your thoughts.rickNS wrote: ⤴Mon Mar 05, 2018 9:40 pm I read some of that blog, and I have to say I am amazed at some of the miniscule (sp) complaints. When you can get such a wonderful OS as Mint for free if you want, without ANY restrictions, some people will still complain about such things as "My screen resolution is XXXX, and the font is too small. Of course it is you got too much res. for a laptop.
I want to thank Mr. Clem for a great job, well done ! I have NO complaints, I love it Mint "AS IS". In fact I kind of hope there are not too many major changes in version 19. That said I am not trying to tell you (him) what to do...I'll have plenty of time to get used to V.19...Am sure I will like it....ha, ha, what's the option anyway ? going back to ...I don't think so.
Bottom line, I think more people should be more appreciative, rather than knit-picking.
BIG THANKS..Rick Nova Scotia
