I became a linux user with 16.10, about 4 months ago. I'm loving it, but since the final version of 17.04 is about to come out, I'd like to upgrade. Is there any benefit to a clean install? I don't really want to have to reinstall, but if there's anything, anything, that would give me a reason to clean install, I'll do it. I prefer to go on the safe road. Also, how do I update? With update-manager -d and following the instructions, with sudo apt dist-upgrade, or with sudo do-release-upgrade?

just did the upgrade from 16.04 to 16.10 to 17.04. Had an issue with the network manager not starting on 16.10. The upgrade from 16.10 to 17.04 was smooth but I'm having some issues with my VPN service at the moment. My network connection has been stable though. I used the software & update UI but you can follow the official upgrade doc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZestyZapus/ReleaseNotes
