If you are attempting to upgrade from an older LTS release to a new LTS release, it is recommended to upgrade to each successive LTS version along the way. For example, if you are on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and wish to upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, it is advised to first upgrade to Ubuntu 20.10 between those versions. This can help prevent any potential issues that may arise from skipping multiple LTS releases.
Remember to backup your important data before proceeding with a system upgrade to prevent any data loss in case of a failed upgrade process.
