If you’ve been waiting for this I’d like to thank you for your patience.

It is now possible to upgrade Linux Mint 20.3 to version 21.

The upgrade instructions are available at: https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade-to-mint-21.html

Take your time

Read all the instructions and take the time to understand them, ask for help if you’re stuck.

The instructions will ask you to be up to date and to prepare system snapshots. Don’t rush into upgrading and do not take shortcuts.

Don’t panic

If you’re stuck or wondering about something don’t hesitate to ask for help:

• You can post here in the comments section.
• You can ask for help in the forums.
• You can connect to the IRC (from within Linux Mint, launch Menu->Internet->Hexchat). If you’re new to IRC, read this tutorial.

Notes

• If your version of Linux Mint is older than 20.3 read https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade.html.
