suggestions:

Re-enable 3rd party repositories after upgrade. A backup of the APT sources gets stored in ~/Upgrade-Backup/APT but the tutorial didn't cover this or what to do with it (probably best to just find what the 3rd party repositories were and re-enable them manually from instructions on their website). Important for things like Google Chrome.

mintupgrade replaces user modified configuration files in /etc without prompting, leaving *.dpkg-old files behind. Perhaps cover this tidbit in the tutorial.
