Upgrade Ubuntu

  1. I'am the fresh owner of a Dell XPS 13 9310 Developer Editions with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

  My only questions is:

Can i upgrade to Ubuntu 21.10?  It doesn't seem to want to let me using the normal procedures.

 

Thanks

    Hi, I'm just wondering if you received any news or if you found anything else out on your own about upgrading?

    Thanks

    Hey there,

    After I have received the same laptop, I did an immediate re-install to upgrade to 21.10, but the result was a disappointment. The driver performance was bad. The trackpad froze every 30 secs, the battery drained quicker, video streaming was laggy. So I switched back to Dell-provided LTS by downloading the iso image from Dell support. 

    I have seen a script over github where someone was mimicking the setup of his Dell but it wasn't applicable for us, since it was 20.04 as well. 

    I also tried to manually add the repos from the Dell installation to the new install of 21.10 but as far as I get form my limited knowledge of Linux these repos were dependent on the version of Ubuntu.

    Let me know if you progress anyhow on the issue. I would like to have Gnome updates on my laptop although I wouldn't sacrifice drivers.
