Ubuntu 19.10, codenamed Eoan Ermine, will be released on October 17, 2019. This tutorial is going to you 2 ways to upgrade Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 19.04 to 19.10. The first method uses the graphical update manger and the second method uses command line. Usually you use the graphical update manager to upgrade Ubuntu desktop and use command line to upgrade Ubuntu server, but the command-line method works for desktops too.

Ubuntu 18.04 is a long term support (LTS) release, which will be supported for 10 years. Ubuntu 19.10 is a non-LTS release, which means it will be supported for 9 months only, until July 2020. If you prefer stability over bleeding edge, then stick with Ubuntu 18.04, but if you are the other way around, you can follow this tutorial to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to 19.10.

Ubuntu 19.04 will reach end of life in January 2020, so I recommend 19.04 users upgrade to Ubuntu 19.10 ASAP.
