Why I want this?

Just trying to use the updated things. Also, I want to gain the advantage of additional driver updates and better hardware compatibility as per experience with Ubuntu.

Would you suggest me to do so?

Is it safe to do so?

What additional changes/risks I would have to handle?

Regards

Himanshu Shekhar
