Given all the beta-testing that's taken place with the new 'mintupgrade' tool recently that's what I'm going to do - right now I just don't have the energy to do a completely fresh install and then fiddle with things for a few days until it's the way I like it
The upgrade path is usually unveiled on the blog within a few days of the official release so I have my fingers crossed.
Mint 21 Release Date? (Soon right?)

Re: Mint 21 Release Date? (Soon right?)
I just finished upgrading to to Mint 21 using the Mint Upgrade Tool. Currently testing before I reinstall a few things that the upgrade ripped out (things like NoMachine and a few others) because since I've been using Xfce, I didn't find the Hamburger menu to find Preferences and choose the programs I wanted to keep. I had no idea what it looked like because I haven't used Cinnamon in years, nor the Mint Update Tool,peteste wrote: ⤴Mon Aug 01, 2022 8:55 am Given all the beta-testing that's taken place with the new 'mintupgrade' tool recently that's what I'm going to do - right now I just don't have the energy to do a completely fresh install and then fiddle with things for a few days until it's the way I like it

In the end though it seems I have no more stuff to reinstall than if I did a normal clean install . .
