Hi Starbuck. Congratulations on your new baby. I would like to ask for upgrade clarification pls. Do you remember this interchange we recently had [https://mauilinux.org/updating-maui-2-maui-backports/]?
I thought you were meaning that we could upgrade Maui 1 to 2 simply via the normal Upgrade Manager, but now i read in your https://mauilinux.org/maui-2-blue-tang-released/ that "You can get the new version fresh from our download site ( https://mauilinux.org/download/ )" --> that sounds like we do after all need to download a new ISO, & thus do another total installation...?
If that is correct, then i have a subsidiary question. To my frustration David has not replied to clarify the pretty astonishing statement he made, "Plausible, the encryption scheme even changed between the two releases", https://forums.mauilinux.org/showthread....5#pid39965. IF i need to d/l then fresh-install Maui 2 ISO, then given David's possible meaning, do you think i should now not only format my / with the Maui 2 install, but ALSO this time format & re-encrypt my /home, to avoid any possible conflicts of any old Mint 17 KDE config files buried in /home that might be conflicting with Maui?

Hi, since Maui is based on neon and that on ubuntu xenial LTS,all Maui's are on the same platform, and therefore share all backports. So it is easy to upgrade, as there is no path needed, one of the advantages of partitially rolling distros. Only LTS to LTS in 2 years would need a true update path.
