How to Upgrade Manually to Ubuntu 26.10 "Stonking Stingray"

  With the development cycle for Ubuntu 26.10 officially underway, Canonical has published stonking/snapshot-1 . For early adopters, developers, and enthusiasts looking to ride the absolute edge of the open-source wave, the temptation to jump from the stable shores of 26.04 LTS, Resolute Raccoon, into the development stream is strong. Because the automated release pathways are not populated so early in the cycle, the standard do-release-upgrade -d tool will politely decline to find the new branch. To make the leap, we must step past the guardrails and manage our repository tracking manually. > Important Prerequisite: Upgrading to a day-one snapshot moves your environment into a highly experimental space.

Lygisk - A magisk alternative for Lineage Os

"Lygisk is a Magisk fork correcting one of the few mistakes legendary @topjohnwu did not fix (yet).

Lygisk fixes the needed /data access in addon.d, which fails to reinstall Magisk during OTA if the device does not support FBE decryption in recovery" 





The process involves sideload with adb. Download the canary Lygisk from the link above and rename it from app-debug.apk to app-debug.zip

Reboot the phone to lineage os recovery with the power button

Tip: enable advanced reboot in settings > system > buttons > power menu 

Start a command prompt in the platform tools folder

Assuming the Lygisk zip is on the desktop of your PC copy as path



In Lineage os recovery tap on apply update > apply update from adb 

In the terminal type 

adb sideload "app-debug.zip" 

Once it's done tap 'reboot system' 


You may need to install the Lygisk canary apk file after the device boots up. Tap on the Lygisk app and let the phone automatically reboot
