Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn
In recent years, Canonical has not only introduced many new features in Ubuntu but has also revised support for their release. In fact, Ubuntu is released in an LTS version every two years (the current version is 4.14 LTS Trusty), supported distribution for 5 years, while the various intermediaries are supported only 9 months. For users using a version intermediary such as Ubuntu 10.13, 13.04, 12.10, etc. you can upgrade to the current LTS distribution or in the new version which is the intermediary 14:10 Utopic directly from the update manager. Update Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty or an earlier version (or a derivative) in Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn is quite simple and (in theory) should not lead to major problems, it is recommended to back up your favorite files before proceeding with the upgrade.

Before proceeding with the upgrade it is important to make a backup of our data, to do so we can use a pendrive, external hard drive or stored on a web space offered by cloud storage services. We can also backup the entire operating system using such TimeShift or Systemback.
