We are proud to present the highly anticipated release of Lubuntu 18.10! This release comes with many changes, which will probably be overshadowed by the highly anticipated move to the LXQT desktop environment. Naturally a big change like this can cause problems so we strongly recommend you back up your files. In fact we recommend you **backup your files** before any upgrade. Also please ensure that your laptop is charging as upgrades may take a while and unexpected power failures could be disasterous.
