Well I upgraded my Dual boot "Gaming" rig to Mint 21 "Vanessa", took about 1 1/2 hours. First had to have "required" a TimeStamp for that day. Open Terminal and then... sudo apt install -y mintupgrade then... sudo mintupgrade. Opens a GUI to check system, packages etc.... then does it's thing. I think also I am gonna bite the bullet and take my laziness to my dual Win 8.1 / Mint laptop I use for paying bills from the bank and doing my taxes, and Use the whole drive and DUMP Win 8.1 as all I did was upgrade it a while ago because I missed the DEL key at turn on so it booted into Win. So I upgraded it then almost a year now.
On another note I upgraded the CPU to a Ryzen 5600 on the "Gaming" rig, so I had a 3600 and an Athon 3000g without homes.
I replaced my perfectly good HP tower with a new Termaltake Case, 54 bucks. Had a Thermaltake 120 radiator not used yet. 2 500GB NvMe drives, used 1. A 240 SSD and the old 1TB HDD drive from the HP. So now I have an Intel Core I5 10400 CPU without a home. The MB from this HP is proprietary. so cannot be moved to another case. Even the DVD plugs are HP Sata specials.
So far Vanessa seems to be stable and unlike Win it kept all the settings I have for the desktop. The Icons still worked, the system Temp monitors was still up and running, even the clock, Unlike Win10, the clock is in sync to Eastern Time zone and yet it will sometimes switch to 3 hours ahead and need to re-sync.
