There seem to be many updates waiting for install when logged using ssh.

[ 0 security updates available, 137 updates total: apt upgrade ]

Is it supported to run apt upgrade?

Thanks!

First, make sure you can flash SD cards. If you can do that, go ahead and give it a try. If it dies, you can flash a new image.

yes, anything under Ubuntu is supported. Go ahead and let us know. We don't usually upgrade packages, that tend to create in-stability
