Recent OS upgrades

I thought that my recent experiences upgrading my Linuxmint desktop and
my Ubuntu server might give others confidence to do it themselves.

*I upgraded Linuxmint from 20.3 to 21 without any problems simply by*

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt
autoremove

sudo apt install mintupgrade

sudo mintupgrade

*I upgraded Ubuntu Server from 20.04 to 22.04.1 LTS (with only a PHP
problem) by*

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt
autoremove

sudo do-release-upgrade

(Note: it is recommended not to do this over SSH)

Both upgrades automatically updated my PPAs too.

Interesting. My upgrade is failing as it is trying to remove the package
mythbuntu-desktop. Anyone else seen this?

The mythbuntu-desktop package does not exist in Ubuntu 20.04. It is
probably historical - I suspect that you need to install
xubuntu-desktop so that mythbuntu-desktop can be deleted. My main
MythTV box and my mother's one look to have that same problem, but I
have not tried upgrading them to 22.04 yet. The machines I have
upgraded to 22.04 so far (my big server/development PC and my laptop)
both have gnome desktops installed. The laptop also has xubuntu
desktop installed - I switch it to that when I am using it for MythTV.

Looks like the lowest impact is xubuntu-core, otherwise I get a lot of
desktop apps I don't actually require.

When I went to 22.04 (Xubuntu clean install) I installed Mythbuntu
Control Panel (MCP)
