Will installing Ubuntu 21.04 beta require to do a fresh install once 21.04 is officially launched, or are the beta releases typically upgradable as is?
Awesome, rsync sounds interesting. Thank you!Yeah, you'll need to do a fresh install - or you'll want to. You can't just install the beta and then keep upgrading and upgrading to get the official release. It might work, but I'd not recommend it.
That'd make the testing so much easier. As it stands, I use rsync to grab the daily image, check the manifests, and then start with the new daily image.
By all means, please install it and look for bugs - just don't get to set in your ways and be prepared to update to the full version later this month. It's only like 20 minutes to do a complete installation, so it's not a huge investment in time.
