I have a new ASUS Vivobook laptop and am wondering which version of Ubuntu to install given that 18.04 LTS is scheduled for release at the end of this month.
I took a look at the Ubuntu releases page and did some research on upgrading to 18.04 and see it's possible to upgrade directly from 16.04 or 17.10.
However I was wondering if installing 18.04 beta 1 is perhaps an even better solution - will upgrading from the beta version to the stable version at the end of April be the easiest option?
If installing the beta version of 18.04 is not recommended, which will be a least error prone upgrade to 18.04 - 16.04 or 17.10?
It depends how important it is for you that computer works without errors. If you can't afford any glitches, then go for non beta version.
If it is OK that something might not work, you can install 18.04 beta and wait for the final release. I do it that way many times on a computer that may become unstable. I am running 18.04 on a laptop for a month now without any problems. Since 18.04 is in development you get lots of updates every day. I have never had problems going from beta to stable version as it is automatic. The last update on release date makes it stable.
