Ubuntu 23.10 had been released via most of the repos.There is no ISO, yet. But a command line update worked.The repos are likely still being populated at this time. If you are told there is no release yet, try later.#Ubuntu #Linux

Could you share the link please? https://releases.ubuntu.com/ hasn’t been of much help. Is installing it over a Windows 10 a ‘breeze’ or is it the same old, “You need to know what you’re doing”? i.e. Must have another laptop ready where I can watch a video (or read instructions) to walk me through the installation?

@Deus As previously said, there is no ISO yet.You can perform a command line update if you're using a previous version.The ISO will be released in a few hours (October 12, 2023).

I don’t have a previous release and I’m on Windows 10. It was a question on Ubuntu (in general) - like, do they now have an option where you do a USB boot-up with an ISO and it walks you through upgrading your Windows 10 into an Ubuntu machine? Curious me just played around with it in the 2000s in a ‘ready to break’ machine, so a bit lost on the developments that have happened.

@Deus Linux is a complete different operating system from Windows. You don't perform an in-place upgrade from Windows to Linux, you perform a fresh install, replacing Windows.So you want to back up your documents, photos, videos, and anything important if you're going to make the switch.The ISO can boot from USB and you can try it from the USB without installing or touching Windows. The actual install, is point and click easy, just like Windows.

@Deus To answer your other question, if you're new to Linux, coming from Windows, I would suggest you back up (obviously) and wait a day or two after the release.Ubuntu and its many flavors (see URL) is great for newbies. But just like Windows or macOS, on release day, there may be a few minor bugs. Wait until those are fixed (if any are needed).It's a great distro to use if you're a newbie and comes in a few flavors https://ubuntu.com/desktop/flavours

Yes. I understand it’s a ‘completely’ different OS from Windows. My Fedi server is running on Ubuntu and I did the installation (of the Fedi server) on my own. So I can walk my way through it.Considering all the developments happening around and with Ubuntu being the most (well) funded, I thought that ‘maybe’ they’ve now come up with such a solution. Boot from USB with ISO > Click > Click > Click > “your Ubuntu is installed” with no files lost.

@Deus That is never going to happen with no operating system. Not even Microsoft Windows can do that, nor can Apple macOS.Sadly, the only exception are mobile phones. There are import tools for porting from Apple iOS to Android and Android to iOS. But no one has ever made a tool for the desktop (sorry) and no one seems to have any plans either.That said, backing up your documents, photos, videos, and alike is as simple as copying them to a free USB or uploading them online.

Too much at risk, in that case (not downplaying it). Will make the move when MS forces me to upgrade to Windows 11.Thanks for all your replies.

@Deus Linux is indeed the future. Even Microsoft, themselves, now provide a guide on how to switch to Linux.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/installThe theory is either Windows 12 or 13 will be Linux based. Or Windows as an online service becomes more of a thing (they're already doing that now).

@Deus The only reason phones can do it is that cellular providers demanded those things, way in the beginning, and eventually they just "stuck" as a standard thing.But if you moved from MacOS to Windows or Windows to MacOS or Linux, etc... There is no direct path. There never will be.The correct answer is and always will be backup, and install.

@Deus Ironically, the distro Microsoft recommend is, Ubutnu.
