upgrading Linux Mint 20.3 to 21.2
I recently upgraded my ASUS N550J laptop 's Linux Mint from 20.3 to 21.2, this was done in two steps, as I was getting regular pokes from the upgrade manager to upgrade to 21.0, so I eventually got around to reading the online Upgrade Release Notes, simply following the steps precisely got me upgraded to 21.0 in very short time, then a day or so later, I was prompted to upgrade to 21.2, again simply following the instructions to complete the 21.2 update. I consider the task of upgrading Linux Mint a much easier task than that of upgrading MS Windows from 10 to 11. Note that Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu Linux, which in turn is built of Debian Linux.
