Sure. That's nice, but it's not so special as you might think. It's open source after all.

: So... now that you know that "sudo do-release-upgrade" is necessary for the upgrade from 18.04 to 18.10, would you mind trying this out in WSL and adding the result to your article?
Yes. But you can still try 19.04 even before release.

I found with going from 16-18 with
do-release-upgradeit was actually faster to start over that it was to wait for the upgrade on WSL.I have been working with WSL long enough to know that it's important to document your dev setup for that time when you need to start over. 😅
For anyone else interested I had a look to see if I could update my version of Ubuntu from 18.04 and it seems there's no release available yet.
Ok, let's see where this goes, currently 14:15 here in the UK and I've kicked this off after setting the
Prompt=normalinrelease-upgrades.I have a 2 core i5 @ 2.7 GHz, once complete I'll check with
lsb_release -a14:30 so it looks like this failed, I got this prompt:
Not sure what it's for but retrying didn't work so I aborted out and got this mesasage:
Not going anywhere now 😬
So after a lot of Ctrl+c's I got an option to resurrect the window, it's now moving again.
So, it looks like it was a botched upgrade, I'm presuming because I didn't use
sudo🤦♀️I made a post on how I upgraded:
