Has anyone tried it?

Hi, detailed instructions here:
https://community.kde.org/Neon/BionicUpgrades
but it seems to successfully install developers bionic upgrade as you could found here:
https://community.kde.org/Neon/BionicUpgrades/Testing
Almost all the upgrades went fine.
Regards,

Thanks for the coment, I have a Neon that is important to me and I have no space where to backup.
Regards,

What is this guide? I make an update with discovery., Logout, login, and I try to type the neon-preview-upgrade piece as it is written
3) Open the application launcher and type the command neon-preview-upgrade. Run the command showing up as a search result.
There are no such commands in application launch.
Obviously, instructions are wrong
Oh, my God, give me some correct instructions for upgrading

I followed the directions exactly, and it worked. You are typing the command in the Kmenu (the application launcher)?
It will also work from Krunner, or the terminal.

The instructions are from the official link I published, the result after all the experiments on this forum destroyed the distro. I never try to do this again, I have Manjaro doing all the new plasma and new kernel and no problems. typed am i in the klancher but nothing. I have poor login screen and nathing else, no logon, no update, no install.

If you managed to start a neon-preview-upgrade, this means that someone here read and corect it to do everything. Neon-preview-upgrade did not exist , I deleted and reinstalled the software update. I did everything according to the rules and I got nothing. Never again Neon will not put on my PC, in the meanwhile I patiently wait for the upgrade and I get a ruined distro.

Well, I did an upgrade from Neon User Edition on Asus X5DIJ notebook according to the instructions given. Everything went fine and smooth. No problems detected.

Unfortunately I did not succeed. So many months are tested. I have Manjaro, new plasma, the latest kernel, applications 18.08.1-1 and every update is okay. It's inconceivable that those who make plasma can not make a stable distribution for months, and people who take the plasma and make RR distro do it ok

It's ok. Use Manjaro if it makes you happy.

I'll kindly ask you to stop being toxic in the neon forum from now on.

Now I upgraded Neon User Edition on notebook HP 15-bw064ng. UEFI-Bios, no secure-boot. Some alien ppas. Everything went fine. No problems.

I did an update to Neon User Edition 16.04 using the instructions. The update was almost flawless. Couple of things:

-Software that was installed from a PPA (like my Nvidia graphics drivers and libreoffice) were "broken" with the update. As soon as I re-enabled the PPAs, which are disabled by default (great documentation - BTW!), I was able to update/reinstall the packages.

-The software-properties-kde package was not installed. I had to reinstall this package to turn the PPAs back on.

-The updater did a decent job of cleaning up after itself. However, it did leave over 136 unused packages on my laptop. Running sudo apt autoremove cleaned everything up.

Everything seems to be running smooth. I'm still testing things out, but no problems so far. Big things like Matlab, Steam (with Proton), Chrome, Spotify, and the Plex Media Player are all working just as well as they worked under 16.04, so I am very happy!
