Please, underpin why the OP should first upgrade to the non LTS and<br>
then to the LTS?<br>

</span>This claim is absolutely nonsense, it just implies that I get<br>
information from somewhere.<br>
<br>
There are tons of sources, some might be false others might be true,<br>
the averaged claim is similar to this one:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://torrentfreak.com/is-your-isp-messing-with-bittorrent-traffic-find-out-140123/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://torrentfreak.com/is-your-isp-messing-with-bittorrent-traffic-find-out-140123/</a><br>
<br>
I just didn't provide more information, since it's off-topic and I<br>
don't want to provide more off-topic information.<br>
<br>
Again, it's off-topic, lets stay with the topic, since some users<br>
really use the mailing list archive to get help and it's not good if<br>
they have doubts what to do, to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04.<br>
<br>
IMO the Ubuntu Studio FAQ should answer this, but at the moment they<br>
don't and editing Ubuntu help pages became a PITA, so I send a request<br>
to the Ubuntu Studio devel list. Hopefully next time somebody wants to<br>
know how to upgrade to 16.04 or 16.04.x we simply can reply by posing a<br>
link to the Ubuntu Studio FAQ and avoid off-topic discussions and/or<br>
different opinions that make it unclear what to do.<br>
