Mint 20.3 to Mint 21.X

Post by Agentl074 »

So, how is the transition from upgrading Mint 20.3 to Mint 21.X? I was thinking it would probably be best to do a clean install, but I wasn't sure if others had any issues going from 20.3 to 21?

Speaking for myself, I always do a clean install on major version releases, as they involve an entirely new codebase.

That being said, I do suspect the majority of users who chose not to do a clean install are successful in their upgrade, however I have certainly seen others who have had issues.
