General

Though you can upgrade every 6 months there is often little reason to do this in a production environment.

Every two years a LTS(Long Term Support) release comes out.

  • It is supported for 5 years.
  • It does get point releases and kernel upgrades.
  • Most software can be brought to a current version with a ppa


Check


sudo do-release-upgrade -c The c is obviously for check

Upgrade

sudo do-release-upgrade This normally only works after the point release is out. You can force it sooner with the -d flag at the end sudo do-release-upgrade -d
