	~~== GUI systems ==~~		* Your current OS release must be up-to-date:

	* ~~Upgrading gnome can~~ be ~~troublesome shit from command line. Do this:~~
	** exit i3, boot into Gnome
	** hit Alt, type Software Updater, go through options to upgrade

	* Or to ~~try from the command line anyway~~:
	mh-update-ubuntu		mh-update-ubuntu
	# (ensure all repos are working)		# (ensure all repos are working)
	# reboot		# reboot

	~~Either~~:		* Now you can kick it off:
			# you can connect via direct proxmox shell (not ssh) but seems robust either way
	sudo do-release-upgrade		sudo do-release-upgrade
	~~Or:~~
	~~sudo apt install update-manager~~
	~~sudo update-manager &~~

	~~=== NOTES ===~~

	* ~~Nautilus crashes (yep, unreal right?); i tried [https~~:~~//wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/File_managers alternatives] and they are all BLOATed; currently using spacefm~~		* Typical selections:
	** whoa, this appears to have been (maybe) because my VM host was not set to HOST - i found out when an ig container kept crashign with "bad CPU"
