The problem I have with Mint is that a dist-upgrade is not possible. You can try it, and break everything in the process. They officially recommend a clean wipe and install. Or at least this was the case a few releases ago.
- solnyshok 9y agoI went through last 2 or 3 dist-upgrades (do not remember, since it was pretty mundane and quick too, thanks to ssd) without a hitch
- CrankyBear 9y agoThat's no longer the case, you can dist-upgrade to 18.2 from 18.1 or 18.0. See: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3306 http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3306 for the how-to.
- teilo 9y agoGood! Let's hope they make this possible for major releases as well.
