@_abderrahmane_ @linuxmint was pondering the same.. is it reasonably safe (always backup for any OS update, kids!) to upgrade an existing inertial or does it need a clean install?
ReggieH@_abderrahmane_ @wiredfire @linuxmint
The .iso is available now for clean installs and it looks very nice. There are instructions (google) for a manual update but better to wait a little longer for the Update Manager to do it for you.
Option should be available soon under the “Edit” tab.

Thank you so much for the answer,
Yeah I may need to wait for the upgrade fr update manager,
How long it usually take to get released in there?
Because it's my first upgrade

Sorry, not really sure. Others suggest anything from a few hours to a couple of days. I guess they are doing final testing of the process.

@linuxmint @_abderrahmane_ @retroreggie I think patience is fine. 21.1 is still pretty fantastic in the meantime 😁
@wiredfire @linuxmint @retroreggie
I know 😁
Even this update is not a major one, but I just want to try it 😁
Thank you again for your nice reply 😊
Have a great day

@retroreggie @wiredfire @linuxmint I was checking the blog's history of the upgrades
They usually announce the upgrade in the same day, the longest one was the next day

Mint 21.2:
The option to upgrade is now available in the Update Manager.
Do a "Refresh" and the Update Manager itself will update and the option should be under the "Edit" tab.
Too late now to update my laptop so this comes with a caveat.

@wiredfire @retroreggie @linuxmint yeah everything went well on both my laptop (cinnamon) and my desktop (xfce)
