Been using Linux off and on for years. Back when Windows 10 got EOL’d, I decided to go all in. I’m one of those weirdos who doesn’t like Mint/Cinnamon, so I went with MX 23 + Plasma.

Now that MX 25 has been out for a bit, I figured I’d try my first in place upgrade: https://mxlinux.org/wiki/in-place-upgrade-from-mx-23-to-mx-25/

The instructions said the process would be “a little bumpy,” but it really wasn’t at all - I’m comfortable with a command line.

Only issue was that my icons were all blank after the upgrade. (I figured a theme got upgraded and the old icon paths were invalid.) All I had to do was go into settings and pick a new icon pack.

Since this was my first time, I don’t really know if that was typical for in place upgrades. I’m sure I’ll find out eventually, haha.
