To update a machine perform the following. If you are running Ubuntu
20, the machine stays on Ubuntu 20.[1,2]

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt upgrade

To upgrade a machine perform the following. If you are running Ubuntu
20, the machine will upgrade to Ubuntu 22.[1,2]

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt upgrade
    # reboot as necessary
    sudo do-release-upgrade

When upgrading, you may be presented with a prompt to keep your
existing config file, or use the maintainer's upgraded config file. I
always take the maintainer's upgraded config file. (See 'Configuration
changes' in [1]).

Some folks have problems when trying to upgrade from the GUI. You
should probably switch to a virtual terminal so GUI restarts don't
affect the process. Switch to a new virtual terminal by pressing
ALT+F3 or CTRL+ALT+F3. Switch back to the GUI with ALT+F1 or
CTRL+ALT+F1.
