Macbook upgrade from Kubuntu 20.10 to 24.04 LTS

[gshockxcc]

Here's are the specs for the macbook that I'm running:

Operating System: Kubuntu 20.10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0
Qt Version: 5.14.2
Kernel Version: 5.8.0-63-generic
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 2 × Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz
Memory: 3.6 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: NVAF

It's been pretty stable since I installed 20.10, but I can't remember what I did, or how I did it. When I was planning to upgrade to 22, I didn't see much support for Mac. I would like to upgrade to 24.04 LTS, and I'm looking for a little guidance.

Do I need to create a boot drive with something like Etcher, or is the process completely different for a Mac? It's been years since I installed on this one, and I have no idea what I did back then.

Thanks in advance.

You'll be better off just downloading 24.04 and doing a fresh install, overlaying your existing 20.10, or, install it in a separate partition. 20.10 became EOL (End-of-Life) on July 22, 2021).

Is the process the same when installing on a PC? Do you just create the startup disk using Balena Etcher?

I would like to upgrade my MacBook from 20.10 to 24.10 or 24.04. I am using a MacBook Model A 1466. 20.10 was very stable and there where no issues with the hardware. With both new versions there was no support for the wifi hardware. It was not possible to connect to the internet during installation, with 24.04 there was also no update given after installation. Also after a couple of days after installation, there was no update in the download center. Has this issue already been an issue in the upgrade of this topic?
