I would like to try MythTV but first it seems that I ought to upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04. Using Ubuntu wiki BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes". The first step says that I should open the "Software & Updates" Setting in System Setting but I can find no "Software & Updates" in system Settings. Is there a way around this. There seem to be many sources for this information, all a little different. I assumed the Ubuntu wiki would be the best curated (close to the source). Is this so? Can anyone recommend a more reliable way to upgrade.

Install package update-manager-core if it is not already. Perform full upgrade (apt update && apt upgrade && apt dist-upgrade).
Then, run in a terminal sudo do-release-upgrade. This is a CLI way to upgrade Ubuntu releases.
For a GUI version you can use the command update-manager, but I’m not sure which package this is found in. But supposedly this should be part of your existing installation.
Supposedly the upgrade can be around 1.5GB so try to have good internet or a lot of time when you do this.
