I am using the GNOME Distribution of Ubuntu.
Is it possible to upgrade this system to Ubuntu 17.10 without problems and loss of data?

3Might as well just wait 1 more month and upgrade to 18.04 which is also a LTS and should provide a more pleasant upgrade experience. – devius Mar 22 '18 at 10:18

17.10 (2017.Oct release) is now a very short term idea; it only had a 9 month life at release, now more than half gone. 16.04LTS default upgrade path is to 18.04 which you'll have to do soon even if you go to 17.10; I agree with devius – guiverc Mar 22 '18 at 10:20

It's better to wait. LTS releases are much more stable as @devius mentioned above. Also upgrades in general can be unstable – Mar 22 '18 at 12:55
