[SOLVED] LMDE5 upgrade to LMDE6

Post by Peter Linu »

Hiyall,
I have LMDE5 in a VB. I understand that LMDE6 will soon be available. Will it be a simple matter of upgrading as I to with my host Cinnamon or will I need to uninstall LMDE5 before I install LMDE6?

Per the Monthly News – April 2023, no dates have been set and LMDE6 will be after LM21.2 and LM21.2 Edge have been released and neither of those have even reached beta stage yet. That means "soon" is months away at this point in time.

After LMDE6 is released, there will be instructions as to how one can switch from using LMDE5 to LMDE6.

There was an upgrade tool available to go from LMDE4 to LMDE5 so it is probable there will be one for going from LMDE5 to LMDE6.
