Upgrade to Mint 20.3 Una?

Novatian · 11-21-2023, 02:17 AM

I have been using Mint on this desktop since 2021 January. It has worked well although Chromium does not work. Just now I updated and there was a broken package notice. Checking for the link to find it, if it was regarding the Kernel, I found I could upgrade to Mint 20.3 Una. Is it a good idea?

Novatian,

Surely it's a better idea to install LM 21.2?

If you have a separate Home partition, it is a relatively simple matter:

Failing that, backup all personal data and bookmarks etc and do a fresh installation of LM 21.2, this time with a separate Home partition.

Do not attempt an in-situ upgrade because it will almost certainly go wrong!

I think a BETTER idea would be to update to 21.3.

FenderGuy,

LM 21.3 was released on 12th January 2024.

My previous post is dated 21st November 2023, when LM 21.2 was current.

Gotcha.

Apologies, beachboy2.
