[00:40] <skyemoor[m]> Looking to update finally from 18.04 US LTS to 20.04 LTS, and having trouble finding a procedure that doesn't begin immediately starting to set up Jammy. I've read months back that there is a 21.xx release that precluded direct upgrades, requiring a copy of files and a fresh build. Any recommended approaches to get to 20.04 US LTS first?

[01:37] <Eickmeyer> 18.04 has been End-Of-Life since January 2019 as it wasn't an LTS for Ubuntu Studio (see release notes)
[01:40] <Eickmeyer> No direct upgrade due to the change in desktop environment, btw.
[09:50] <skyemoor[m]> So best just to backup /home/will folders and do a fresh install of 22.04?
[11:01] <skyemoor[m]> Just did a "lsb_release -a" and sure enough I upgraded to 20.04 Studio at some point, so the reference to 18.04 is OBE.
