I took the opportunity to do a Trisquel 8 upgrade on a new laptop I
received from work. It is a Dell Latitude E5570. I originally installed
Trisquel 7 after adding in a new internal wifi adapter. Knowing that it
worked well with that version of the OS, I decided to go ahead and run the
test upgrade.
Other than not liking Mate all that much, the upgrade went perfect for me,
and the system seems to run quite nice. I tried to install XFCE, but it said
that the dependencies are missing from the repository. I assume this is
because it still isn't quite production worthy.
Anyways, as for the upgrade mechanism that you wanted tested. It worked
quite nice, at least on a fresh Trisquel 7 installation. If I was brave I'd
try it on my laptop that I've had since 2013 which had 6, and then was
upgraded to 7 on it. But I'm not that brave yet. Maybe after I get my NAS
configured and get everything backed up.
Cheers!
