How to prepare for upgrade from 24 LTS to 26 LTS?

As the time to upgrade my 24.04 LTS is nigh, I am wondering what issues I might encounter when moving to the new LTS - 26.06 - and are there any ways I can prepare to make it more seamless.

Can you share some general tips? Should I do-release-upgrade when it becomes available or rather install new version clean?

Maybe you know of any particular issues with some of the apps I rely on?

The apps I rely on day, and issues with which would cause me quite some pain, are:

  • Slack
  • Tidal (unofficial client)
  • Nextcloud Sync
  • Zen Browser
  • Telegram
  • Signal
  • WhatSie (wrapper for WhatsApp)
  • VSCodium
  • Obsidian
  • Proton VPN and Mail
  • Betterfox

I have some CLI apps configured, but nothing difficult to reinstall quickly. I also use Steam and Heroic for gaming on the other PC. My PC has nVidia GPU and I use the official proprietary drivers for this.
