Others have warned against 18.04 and some have said it works for them.
I moved off Xubuntu to Mint 18 running Enlightenment so I'm an edge case 
and can't comment :-)


is there anything I should take care with? will I lose any files upon 
upgrading?


No, upgrades don't touch user files so they should be fine (stuff in 
/home/thiago or wherever your home directory is), but as Spass 
suggested, it's always a good idea to back up regularly anyway.


If you have manually changed anything in the rest of the system (eg in 
/usr or /etc), that will get overwritten, so you need to have copies if 
you want to reapply the same changes afterwards.

18.04 works great for me too, on three machines. I don't understand all 
the hate for Xubuntu 18.04 on this mail list recently.


Thiago, you shouldn't loose any files and your configuration should stay 
the same, but remember to backup your important data before upgrading. 
That's always a good idea.


Also, what I personally do is changing my video driver to Nouveau, and 
changing it back to proprietary NVIDIA after the upgrade, but it's a 
hardware specific thing. The upgrade process will automatically disable 
all your PPAs and other repositories you've added, so be sure to enable 
them manually again and change entries from "xenial" to "bionic". All 
that you can pretty easily do in the software-properties-gtk (Software & 
Updates) application.

Maybe for you. But for _me_ it's working great.

You should have in mind, that other people may have other
requirements. I have abandoned KDE since it reached Version 4, because
_I_ think, it has become a big mess. But hey: There are still some
(many) people who like it.

Just my 2 cents,
Michael

Thank you for that.

I have been testing Linux lite, and will move to that when 16.04 reaches 
end of life.


18.04 is too broken for my uses.

I believe 16.04 support on Xubuntu ends in April of next year. It is Ubuntu 
that goes until 2021.

Read the release notes, and don't upgrade.

18.04 IMHO is  too broken to use.
16.04 has support for another two years, so stay with that.
Google for 18.04 on the net, and read what others have to say about it.
