I have a tendency of nuking my system now and then and therefor have a pretty solid strategy for fresh installs.

I’d recommend you think of something like that as well and then just do the upgrade. If it breaks, you’ll still be able to do the fresh install.

Take some time to figure out what packages you need and how long it’ll take to recreate those. If not too crazy then do the fresh install. Obviously back up all your shit and save any relevant configurations

I’ve always just taken the updates, versus a fresh install. But then again, I’ve always waited like a week or two after the release before doing so.

Maybe just uninstall your bloatware?

Fresh install on fresh hardware and it’ll be super fresh.
