Before I updated to 22.04.1, I ensured that 20.04 was updated, and the 
upgrade to 22.04.1 proceeded and booted without a problem, on my i5 
laptop with 16GB RAM (Acer Aspire 5750G) similarly, with a 20.10 
installation on an i3 desktop with 32GB RAM (Medion - from ALDI, bought 
when they had the computers available here).

But, the ubuntu-mate.org web site still does not (at the time of writing 
this message) have the 22.04.1 iso available for download; it has the 
22.04, but, not the point 1 version.

The 16.04 installation, is on my Acer Aspire V3772G; i7 with 32GB RAM.

All my Linux that I am currently running, is UbuntuMATE.

When I find that ubuntu-mate.org has the  22.04.1 iso available for 
download, I will add it to my Ventoy drive.
