    About the states that this is risky, yes like any other upgrade method. Doing backups shouldn't be stated on this particular topic, that should be the normal case anyway.

    The way I described it, is the same way Linux Mint will provide it, while it's hidden behind a menu option.

      But likely with a script that does fixes some of what obviously breaks after testing from the devs. The reason the upgrade isn't immediately available is some form of quality assurance.

        The people at ubuntu and every other mint competition should be majorly throwing a party---
        "The Linux Mint crew has delivered on their goal of shipping Linux Mint 19 "Tara" in June..."
        They certainly have. The promise to deliver by end of June was made, and it was kept, it and shipped, Bugs and all.
        The' ship' option had to be used to enable the shutdown of the three Release-Candidate mint forums which were started in order for the userbase to report bugs in the RC's. By the time Mint finally shut down these forums, the reported bugs for all 3 versions was pushing 1500-2000, a total embarasment. Im sure mint fixed all those reported bugs. right. And of course mint deleted all the bug comments from those blogs including the ones like 'i reported this bug back in 18.xxx and you never responded and its still here'
        If you think anythings better just tune in to the latest MINT blogs, xfce, mate, and cinnamon to read *all* the comments on the buggy *final* releases. they all are like the one whic takes over one page to list the bug, and then ends with ' Great work in Linux Mint 19'---lame and pathetic
        Linux mint---the new NoGnome Ubuntu. Just use ubuntu; at least its had time to work out bugs and that's all mint is anymore, a copy of ubuntu with a load of new timeshift and cinnamon bugs. Mint has gotten irrelevant and wont ever be #1 again
