I just realised that updating an outdated Ubuntu 21.10 system is just kind of impossible without dirty hacks.

I should have gone with bullseye from the beginning.

You should be able to upgrade without any hacks.

21.10 reaching EOL just means that it stopped receiving updates, everything else should still work as is.

Just install the update-manager-core and run "do-release-upgrade -d" as sudo.
