WSL Ubuntu Simple Upgrade 22.04 to 24.04 LTS

Although backup is always a good option, I hope this should not and will not break anything.

First check where you are :

lsb_release -a

# Should see 22.04 Jamie

Make sure we go to next LTS

Go to cat this file. If Prompt is not LTS you change it to LTS

cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades

# You should see something like
...
...
Prompt=LTS

Then go for the upgrade

sudo do-release-upgrade

You use the default option.

Depending on what is running in the background, there is libc upgrade it will ask you to upgrade it one by one.

When finish you are asked to exit and start with the new LTS !
