Upgrade Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 19.10 Directly From Command Line

In a previous article, I explained how to upgrade Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 19.04 to Ubuntu 19.10. However, because Ubuntu 19.04 is stilled supported by the Canonical company, Ubuntu 18.04 users need to upgrade to 19.04 first and follow the same process to upgrade to 19.10. This tutorial will be showing you how to upgrade Ubuntu 18.04 directly to Ubuntu 19.10 from command line, bypassing Ubuntu 19.04.

Why Ubuntu 18.04 Needs to Upgrade to 19.04 First?

As explained in the previous article, if Ubuntu 18.04 users follow the standard upgrade procedure, they will be told to upgrade to 19.04 first.

This is due to the fact that Ubuntu 19.04 is still being supported by Canonical and hasn’t reached end-of-life yet. After Ubuntu 19.04 reaches end-of-life in January 2020, Ubuntu 18.04 users can upgrade to 19.10 directly, following the standard upgrade procedure. If you don’t want to wait 3 months and don’t like upgrading twice, you can follow the instructions below to upgrade to 19.10 directly.
