I'm a non-power user. I've been using 4.0 for over a year now without much trouble except for constant problems with thumb drives, which would sure be nice to be rid of (if that's possible). I have never upgraded Linux Lite before and I have a couple of questions.
What do I lose when I do this? I assume all my desktop customizations go, but do I need to manually reinstall non-OS apps like browsers, etc? What about logins, passwords for the browsers, email program, etc?
My Lite Upgrade is the correct one, according to the upgrade notice.
I noticed that the directions tell you to run Timeshift first to do a backup, but Timeshift has NEVER worked for me and I ended up deleting it. I use Clonezilla, although I have never had to restore the system because it's never been necessary. But I would certainly run it before trying anything. I don't know if this would make a difference - don't see how, but I'm just trying to provide complete information.
Thanks!
