Yes, you're right. do-release-upgrade looks like the similar command. Do you know if do-release-upgrade will move from one LTS version to another? I usually select Ubuntu LTS when I want long term stability, like over 3 or 5 years. In fact, my main desktop machine is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Fedora does not really offer long term stability. Fedora is more suited for the latest stable release every 6 months. Select it when you want as close to the bleeding edge as possible while staying stable.
