@Martins,

Thanks for the clarification! You’re right, do-release-upgrade automates the process and only needs a couple of confirmations.

Also, good point about Ubuntu LTS versions waiting for the first point release like 24.04.1.

If zzupdate is an automatic way of upgrading Ubuntu with many steps described in your article, and do-release-upgrade is manual according to your writing, I think you got it wrong. do-release-upgrade automatically performs all the steps to upgrade Ubuntu; you'll only have to confirm twice with a 'y' (yes) or so along the process. Anyway, Ubuntu will not upgrade the LTS version until the first point release (24.04.1) is out, in order to clear most bugs found meanwhile. Ubuntu 24.04.1 will be released next August.

In reply to Mani. @Mani, Yes, the zzupdate tool should work on Debian as well since it uses the APT package manager, but I haven't tested it yet.

Will it work on Debian OS as Debian also uses the APT package manager?

In reply to dragonmouth. @Dragonmouth, Thank you for your feedback. I understand your preference for sticking with familiar tools like apt and Synaptic. While zzUpdate offers a streamlined way to fully upgrade Ubuntu to the latest release, it's entirely optional and meant to provide an alternative for those who find it convenient.
