However, compared to version 20.1, this is a very small update, so the probability of updating the current version to the new one is very small.

But, as always, before starting the update, you should start Timeshift from the application menu and follow the instructions to create a system backup that you can use to restore your system to its previous state if something goes wrong. You may also need to disable the screensaver and update any Cinnamon spices you have installed in your system settings.

After these required tasks are finished, go to the update manager and hit the update button. Then you will need to install the new version of mintupdate or mint-Upgrade-info if you haven’t already. After these updates are done, press “Modify” in the update manager’s menu bar and press “Update to Linux Mint 20.2 One”, you will see release notes, new features, system requirements, and a summary before proceeding with the update.

While not necessary, the Mint team recommends transforming your system with usrmerge. This was already done on a clean install of Linux Mint 20.1 and Linux Mint 20.2, but if you need to do that, you can transform your system with the following command: apt install usrmerge.
