I have done upgrade in place (no new harddrive unless we needed a larger
capacity drive) on several unix/bsd derivatives. Your file system
comments are very well taken. However, using "stock" Ubuntu LTS for
the OS and file system, is your experience contrary to those of others?

Although in the past the official policy of Red Hat was that you needed to
do a fresh install going from EL N to N+1, that is starting to change.
There is an internal team called "LEAP" whose job it is to make sure you
can do that.
I believe RHEL 7.8 to RHEL 8.1 was the first that you could
Yes, Ubuntu is based on Debian, and it can upgrade without full reinstalls
thanks mostly to its much more complete dependency tree. My home Debian
system has been upgraded many times over the past almost 20 years. The
