   I recommend backup of everything now it's easier to do.   
      
   Try LTS Ubuntu like 22 clean install afterwards.   
      
   Upgrade path would have to much bloating and uncertainty.   
      
   Although upgrade would be possible it's likely an uncertain system.   
      
   Since you use appimage the snap can be scheduled once a week e.g.   
      
   Don't mix flatpack with snaps, flatpack turns your Ubuntu into a   
    hybrid Fedora system .   
      
   Although flatpack is very fast.   
      
   Snaps are bizarre slow, I don't understand why.
