5It is impossible to answer this question with facts. You can have a hardware failure: power outage, broken harddisk, corrupted memory that can mess up an upgrade. All you can do is prepare for failure: make backups of personal files and know how to restore a backup. I would myself aim to setup your system such that you can erase your system partition/disk and re-install from scratch where you afterwards add your personal files/partition/disk and non-standard software. This also works if you want to move to better hardware.Rinzwind– Rinzwind2026-03-31 09:11:54 +00:00Commented 20 hours ago

This seems to be fully answered but let me just add the following: I have a rig with 20.04, 22.04 & 24.04 with a common 'home'. I have multiple WINE application that run the same common code (WINEPREFIX) from all three. The only problem between them is the desktop icon I use to evoke the programs which has to have small differences between each OS flavour. Hence I have a row of icons for each OS version. When running on a new OS WINE has to find the correct version and install it before it runs it.david– david2026-03-31 09:33:08 +00:00Commented 20 hours ago

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. command-line), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
