I'm currently using Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon 64bit. Will there be extenuating circumstances that I need to address before following this guide? I am very new to LInux, as I began my journey about June of 2020. I did a fresh install at that time, and have added numerous apps along the way, mostly around video and Plex. Your reply is greatly appreciated. TIA Nick

Boy am I happy to hear that it's an in-place upgrade! I used to use PCLinuxOS (My very first Linux Distro), and while it was good for my needs, I had to update Libre Office to a current "Community Release", or something like that, but what really irked me was this one upgrade that forced me to totally uninstall the OS, install the new version and then "restore it". What a hemorrhoid that was!!! Linux Mint is so superior in so many ways, like its' stability, updating packages, "Spices", ease of use, and the fact that it recognizes my HP printer and prints easily (albeit with a slight delay). The optional HPLIP software icon in the taskbar is a cool thing to have too. Last, but not least!--Thank you for putting this absolutely excellent video together! Really nice job. Now I can proceed confidently.

Linux Mint devs really made the OS upgrade easy and straightforward, well done. It would be good to compare that to the other major LTS distros. Thx for sharing this step by step guide, its quite helpful!

Funny Mint story. I had one last windows 10 laptop left on my farm. It's sole purpose was to let me play RuneScape. A while ago the game stopped working correctly. I also noticed that when the screen refreshed, it would hesitate and jiggle just a tiny bit and would reset my file manager back to the top of the list. So I got frustrated and finally decided to try RuneScape on Mint. What do you know! RuneScape works really well on Mint. That day my last reason to exist on windows died.

I enjoy your channel very much. I followed your video and successfully upgraded to Mint 21. Keep up your great work.

Yeah! It was a bit rougher for me. I had pyhton 3.11 and must be to reinstall it. I also reinstalled Chrome. Delete PPAs and reinstall repositories. The upgrade chance the postgres default port. I don't know why. Other issue was that because I have matte, I had to make several adjustments to the appearance. However all custom settings were left intact dor all other apps. And that's is it. 😉. Happy new year to you and thanks you for your amazing contents.

I gave up upgrading mint and just do fresh installs and migrations for them around v14, took way less time and actually worked.

Hopefully this saves someone some time... The mintupgrade can only be installed to the immediate previous version. If you are a couple versions behind back, like I was (20.1 trying to go to 21, you'll need to use the update manager to get the version immediately prior to the "current" version you are trying to install. In my case I had to install 20.3 first.

Thanks for your advice. If I have not upgraded for a while and am running mint 19.3 can I just run the current upgrade and skip the inbetween ones.

I take it that these instructions won't work if you have Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.2 or will they? Evidently my repository is not updated and there are remnants of a VPN I tried unsuccessfully to install that are posing problems after following your instructions typing in [sudo apt install mintupgrade] How can I update the repository and get rid of all traces of the VPN which was never functional?

I opted for the upgrade and it has taken a hours😮. Maybe by next year it will be ready. It did help when moved my laptop nearer the router.

I tried upgrading to Vanessa. Got up to the system snapshot step. It seemed to be stuck in a loop. No progress was made on the upgrade. Any tips? Also, before I tried mint upgrade, I was getting an apt cache error, so I ran sudo apt install then sudo apt upgrade to get the up to date stuff for my machine.

I still run cinnamon 17 on my offline laptop. To get current i would have to install 18, 19, 20, etc until I'm current?

The upgrade from 20.xx to 21.xx was less painful than 19.xx to 20.xx IMO.

Once the tool created the Snapshot it was not able to be checked and the update stuck at that point. I haven't found a solution as yet so if anyone has a suggestion I would appreciate your help.

Thankfully I had imaged the whole drive a week ago. So let this be a cautionary tale and back up and then back up some more.

Long story short. I bought a used pc with w10. My old pc was w7. I also installed mint 20.3. Since I am learning both systems, and I don't trust w10 I want to get rid of w10. Do I need to do the iso route in order to eliminate w10 and just install 21.1. I made the mistake of a dual boot and found out I really do not like w10.

I'm in the middle of doing this exact upgrade 20.3 to 21, and it never asked about snapshots (I had one from initial 20.1 install 2 years ago I guess) and it's been downloading for over an hour even tho I'm running at 50 Mbps 😮

I am about as novice as they come. I switched to Linux Mint about 2 years ago, maybe 3, and I really want to upgrade to Cinnamon (going by what I was told from person that installed Mint, but in another state before moving). My problem is I am not familiar with all the terminology of this OS. Sure i could watch all these videos till I''m blue in the face. But my problem is being uncertain of what I'm doing. I would be open to upgrading to 21. I am still on Mint 19.3. I clearly need to upgrade this based on what you are doing. The person I knew in New Mexico who installed this for me had Cinnamon on his system. I don't live there any more. I liked the look of it and basic operation of functions. He said it was better than Mint. I need a supervisor and cannot find someone (even in a college town) that is nerdy enough to help me with this. I am frustrated.

Even though I have used Ubuntu and now Mint for about 13 years, I find that whenever I have to perform upgrades to newer versions, or install anything ... if I follow the directions provided, there seems to be something preventing the process along the way. This was the case with this upgrade. With the idea that doing this upgrade could cause problems with my system ... I almost want to keep the version I already have. I am just a "user" and that is all I am interested in. It should be an easy and safe process for anyone to do.

Like the "repositories" aren't synced or something (Pardon my un-tech-savviness)? I was curious, so I hopped on my computer and typed in "sudo dnf upgrade" and it listed a bunch of things. Apparently it is installing things like "kernel-core" and "kernel-modules", upgrading things poor "pipewire-alsa" and "pipewire-gstreamer", and removing things like (another version of?) "kernel-core" and "kernel-modules." Also, it's worth nothing that I "upgraded" yesterday so perhaps there isn't much for it to upgrade, and perhaps more things would have been upgraded had I not upgraded so recently. So after I upgraded and everything was "complete!", I tried "sudo dnf update" and it came back with "Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete!" And just for good measure, in case "dependencies resolved" meant something like "respiratory updated" I went ahead and did the "sudo dnf upgrade" command again and it, too, came back with "Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete!" Is it because I'm on Fedora that these two commands seem to do the same thing? Or is there something I'm misunderstanding?

Hello, will Linux work with the Creative Sound Blaster Z sound card? I contacted them and they told they have NO plans for Linux drivers.

That's what i did with my 10 year old laptop (I put Linux kde neon plasma on my USB stick) completely removed windows since it no longer supports my system in the coming years, i jumped a head of time to future proof my machine with Linux, because Linux supports older hardware way better than windows does and for the long term too.

I personally hate the nagging of using timeshift. I have my own solid backup systems in place. The 19 -> 20 upgrade required timeshift to be enabled. wtf?

LM mentions Timeshift only ONCE during the Welcome Screen deal and you can ignore it in the System Reports application to where it does r bother you reminding you to use it. oooh wow...big game dookie lol

@@motoryzen No. I could not progress in the mintupgrade app without timeshift active and having backup. BTW, I use timeshift... it's just that I use it with custom configs and not hour-cron.d based like the Mint defaults.

@@SB-qm5wg It let me just fine without having had any timeshift prior backups done ( meaning my timeshift drive was completely disconnected when I did my upgrade on my older 4790k machine). I'm curious if there is an accidental misunderstanding here

If you have a dual boot you will have to update Grub
