I did an upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 (long time ago) then 16.04 and today to 18.04. Things went pretty well. The only issue I had was sound didn't work. Removing DKMS, reinstalling it, then taking a stroll through: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure With a few diversions worked. From time the upgrade was started to finished and working was less than 3 hours (with me not in the room most of the time).
There were a few things that disappeared. It will take me a while to find out what needs to be reinstalled, but it seems most things just worked fine. This is the least pain I have had in upgrading in a long time. Dave On Thu, 2018-08-16 at 06:49 -0500, Howard White wrote: > 18.04 came out in late April.
