Could anyone help me to update my "Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon" to a current version (if it's possible at all)? My distribution's support ended over 100 days ago. I tried commands:
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install mintupgrade
sudo mintupgrade
But I get the error:

Also, I get the LOG:
Code:

Simplest way to reinstall is... Kinda Fomtat C: and install on clean HDD/SSD. This is how I "upgrade" my Lubuntu. I take another SSD and install Lubuntu on it. You can do the same. If you don't have spare SSD, then copy your data to external storage. Remove partitions and do clean Install. Then copy your data back.
 
I'm trying to do it, but get errors.

Thanks to all. Maybe sometimes I'll try to install the new version from scratch. I don't have any custom files on this laptop at all.

I just wanted to install LaTeX using texlive-full and Texmaker, but I can't do it (probably due to my old Linux version).
