If one's system is running 21.3 Virginia, is there an upgrade path to 22.2?
@quoidian @linuxmint
I think you would have to do every version upgrade since 21.3. So 21.3 -> 22 -> 22.1 -> 22.2.
Please correct me, if i'm wrong. I'm not 100 % sure.
@Papaexmatrikulatus @linuxmint i'm going to try the Great Leap directly to 22.2 .
@Papaexmatrikulatus @linuxmint
Two machines - the Thinkpad, a success; the tower ugraded but 'system reports' - 'system information' says still 21.3 Virginia.
@quoidian @linuxmint
Does neofetch say the same?

@Papaexmatrikulatus @linuxmint
Neofetch:
Linux Mint 21.3 x86_64
AMD Phenom 8550 Triple- (3) @2

the Update Manager 'Edit' no longrr ha the fourth item.

I'm assuming I have 22.2 and some file that both consult wasn't updated.

@quoidian @linuxmint @2
Maybe. You can still opt for a fresh install, if it's not to much of a hustle.
@Papaexmatrikulatus @linuxmint @2
How can I tell what version I am running otherwise? uname -a isn't helpful.
@quoidian @linuxmint @2 I guess if all of the Linux Mint changes for 22.2 apply to your system, it should be fine. I'm not sure.
The Ubuntu packages should be newer now, as you switched from 22.04 (Mint 21.3) to 24.04 (Mint 22.2) Ubuntu LTS base.
@Papaexmatrikulatus @linuxmint @2
Still Ubuntu jammy jellyfish according to software sources.
Snapshot still says Virginia.
Seems stable enough.
