I guess it makes no difference if it's Ubuntu or Xubuntu being installed.
The Ubuntu flavors just provide a different default selection of packages,
or something like that. They should be using the same installer. I may be
wrong.

What seems more plausible to me is, that it depends on the machine which the
installation is run on. I've only tried it on my old laptop so far. Maybe it
would work when I tried it on my desktop.

But I'm reluctant to do this. I've lost my desktop system once, when I did
so (that was a few years ago). It would mean to entrust my machine to an
installer that has proven to be buggy.

First I'll try the do-release-upgrade of that 22.04 system which I've
installed successfully. That *should* work.
