When I want to upgrademy Deeping systems I do the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Copy the Code

When I upgrade using the method above the system breaks. When I reboot after the update, the login screen comes and after authenticating the whole UI breaks. All that is visible is the desktop wallpaper and the files stored on the desktop only without the menu and anything else. You can not launch any application not even using shortcuts. This has happened to me for almost all upgrades, from 15.1 to 15.2 and from 15.2 to 15.4 and recently from 15.4 to 15.4.1. In all cases, I ended up installing a fresh copy. Where am I going wrong? What is the safest way of upgrading?

To add some info, apt (something like sudo apt dist-upgrade) is more modern than apt-get, you can even use aptitude (sudo aptitude) command if you want some graphic tools at your terminal... And, to add a last and better option, run sudo aptitude full-upgrade, that will upgrade your system removing all the old packages to prevent you from getting dependency problems or duplicates https://www.computerhope.com/unix/aptitude.htm here are all the aptidude commands. Greetings.
