I've heard somewhere that it's recommended that way. > Nowadays, even Alpha is solid and stable. Back 4 years when I joined Lubuntu, even Beta 2 had many bugs but the milestones are different these days. As for your question, it is a matter of personal preferences, to be honest. >From 4 years with QA and Testing, seeing the progress of more than one project, I can tell that it's okay both way. IMHO, it is a matter of human nature and how our brains see that. It's like you have two shirts, one is old and one is new. Both are clean and in great condition. However, humans tend to go with the newest even though the old in great condition. I might be wrong, this is how I see it after 4 years with testing :) The real differences between Beta 2 and Final Release is: 1. Final Release should have 'less' bugs, at least no serious ones. 2. Updated packages - Final Release should have the latest updates for its packages. I'd suggest that everyone needs to have a look at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseSchedule If you're using Beta 2 on daily basis, then you just need to update/upgrade it once the final release is out. If you would like to re-install, that's fine too. In short, to me, I think it is a matter of personal preferences after all whether to just update/upgrade or do fresh new installation. > > Learn about how to protect yourself on the internet > <https://prism-break.org/en/> > Why it is important to encrypt your communications > <https://freedom.press/encryption-works> > An easy how-to guide to PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) > <https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/en/> > > Nothing ruins creativity like too many voices weighing in.
