Just my 0.02$...
When I install Ubuntu on a new disk, I always partition with a separate
/home.
This way, I when I do a fresh install (typically 15-20 min), I set DO
NOT format and use as /home that partition.
When I reboot, I have the new LTS, all my files and .config in my /home
untouched, I only have to reinstall my apps (Gimp, Grsync, Darktable,
Inkscape and a few others).

Doing a fresh install of Ubuntu is self-sabotage. Please just try.
Double check if Your backups are intact and let the update tool do the
work for You. That's probably at least hours of configuration and
customization effort saved.
Any Ubuntu will read on display calibration profiles. If Your software
will not be available some day You still can have a USB dongle with
older Ubuntu specifically to perform the calibration process. So that
issue doesn't need to hold You back from fresh OS.

Thanks, Wiktor!
It only takes me ~90 minutes to do a fresh install. I kind of enjoy
the process. It forces me to clean up files and back stuff up. Kind of
like a spring house cleaning!
Good idea on the USB dongle, but it has been noted that someone picked
up the the displaycal project and updated it to py3. I just checked
synaptic and there it is. I've been using the .deb package from the
original author all this.
But it is a good trick to keep in mind, thanks!
Regards,
Bob
