With the release of Juno I decided to give it a try and pretty much liked it on laptop. In fact I liked it so much that I decided to install it on desktop as well.

On my main rig I run Ubuntu proper (18.04 + KDE installed manually). Since I have everything set up, and am lazy to reinstall machine unnecessarily, I’ve decided to just convert that install to ElementaryOS so here are the steps I did to achieve that:

1. Add repositories:
   • ElementaryOS stable repositories:

     sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/stable

   • OS Patches:

     sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/os-patches

   • Appcenter repositories:

     cat <<EOF >> appcenter.list 
     deb https://packages.elementary.io/appcenter bionic main
     EOF

2. Update repository cache:

   apt update

3. Upgrade packages:

   apt upgrade

4. Install elementary desktop:

   apt install elementary-desktop

Once that’s done you can reboot the machine.

Bonus point is to change your login manager as well. If you wish to switch to LightDM you can use:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm

And select lightdm in the list
