Greetings all. Total NOOB to Linux here, so please be patient. Thank you.
One of my computers had Ubuntu 13.10, but I tried to update it to 20.04 last night. It didn't go well at all. The installer crashed and I can't even get the machine to attempt to reinstall the new software.
I'm reading the tea leaves and it seems to me that upgrading from 13.10 to 20.04 is some bad bad juju...
After several tries, I just don't care anymore... there's nothing I wanted to save on the hard drive, so what if I just reformat the drive, then start over booting with the flash drive?
Kind of the nuclear option, but I don't want dual boots, partitions or what all anyway. Just a clean machine with 20.04.
Am I on the right track or the wrong one?
