I've noticed that I only see 18.04 when I enable devel releases. Isn't 18.04 a stable release? $ do-release-upgrade -d -c Checking for a new Ubuntu release New release '18.04' available. Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it. Also, can I choose between vanilla Gnome and the Ubuntu design?

You will need to select your desktop session after the upgrade by clicking on the cog icon before logging in. I'm not sure why it's still showing as a development release, it was released over a week ago. Try a *apt update && apt dist-upgrade* first then proceed with *do-release-upgrade*. Good luck!

This means when Ubuntu 18.04.1 is published then 16.04 (LTS) users will be proposed to upgrade normally.

Try a *apt update && apt dist-upgrade* first then > proceed with *do-release-upgrade*. Users of 16.04 LTS will be offered an upgrade when 18.04.1 LTS is out (in July). This is to allow more adventurous users (who upgrade every 6 months instead of waiting two years) to shake out all the bugs. You can run update-manager -d (or do-release-upgrade -d) to upgrade sooner. (I upgraded from 17.10 on the next day after 18.10 came out, and had to recover from a broken upgrade due to LP: #1767391) Marius Gedminas -- Just to be extra clear about this: yes, it is morally wrong for us to have written RetchMail, and it is morally wrong for you to use it.
