Users of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS will soon be offered an automatic upgrade to 22.04.1 LTS via Update Manager. For further information about upgrading, see:

Does someone has recently upgraded ?

I'm not using Kub; I just read things :-)

The links don't talk about the 'specific' 20.04>22.04.1, just others.

My experience w/ Mint is that in the past the update manager would get
updated to provide an upgrade route; but now Mint doesn't do it that
way; it provides a separate package in the repo/s for an upgrade.

The above quote from the link sounds like Kub still uses the update
manager for upgrading, so maybe it works like Mint used to, namely when
the update manager gets updated, it enables you to upgrade with the
'new' feature.

Hello,

I'm currently using Kubuntu 20.04 LTS, and I would like to upgrade to
Kubuntu 22.04.1. The website says it'not currently possible until the
first point release (so it should be possible)...

Does someone has recently upgraded ?

Thanks in advance.

I would be careful what you wish for. The handling of upgrades
seems to be different than point release ISOs. It's like you do
the upgrade, manually. Like you're updating Ubuntu Gnome and
doing sudo apt install kde-full afterwards or something.

Ubuntu has a policy to hold back on updates of the LTS version till
the first point release is available: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/upgrading-ubuntu-desktop#1-before-you-start

... and the OP has the first point release.

Also, I'm reading at a kfocus page that sounds like Kub is a little
different from Ub in both the graphical and the command approaches to
the upgrade.

This link uses Discover for upgrading instead of Software updater and it
uses a slightly different command to upgrade; sudo apt dist-upgrade
instead of sudo apt upgrade.

Update and Manage Software
Use Discover and Command-line

The 22.04.1 point release has already been released in August.
Additionally, an upgrade is possible before that release. It is of
course not advertised in update-manager.

You can upgrade by running "do-release-upgrade".
