If I `sudo-apt upgrade-distro` on Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04, will my nvidia drivers break?
I wanted to upgrade my current xenial distro to bionic. I have my Nvidia drivers installed in xenial, and I wonder what a distro upgrade from the CLI would do to my nvidia drivers. I've broken them before, and that usually meant doing a fresh reinstall of the OS. Not my cup of tea.
Thoughts?
