Ok so I am currently running Kubuntu 20.04 but I’m being hounded to upgrade and I guess I’ll do it on the 1st. But I’ve been hearing that there are some issues with upgrading and keeping your home partition encrypted and separate. What I want is to have my root and boot partitions on one ssd and my home on another with everything encrypted using LUKS ( I don’t think I should encrypt the /boot). Has anyone done this with this version of Kubuntu? I think they changed the installer making this more difficult.

Thanks

    Do you mean upgrade or reinstall?

    I have done release upgrades in multiple occasions all the way from 16.04 -> 18.04 -> 20.04 -> 22.04 -> 24.04. Usually they work fine, but of course back up your stuff first. When doing it with release-upgrade all your stuff is of course kept just like before.

    Basically just:

    sudo apt update

    sudo apt dist-upgrade

    sudo reboot

    sudo do-release-upgrade

    This will upgrade to 22.04. After upgrade just repeat process to upgrade to 24.04
