I am having a problem with my sudo command in my ubuntu, that is because I think I had run the permission command on my computer directory. I found that on the internet everybody is saying that in this situation we have to reinstall the ubuntu. What if I update my ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04, would it be ok or would it remove my issue?
Thank you.

Reinstalling can be any version; you're basically starting over with a clean slate that doesn't reflect things you might have messed up. – fixer1234 – 2018-11-29T06:56:50.677
@fixer1234 so should I reinstall or update? – shashi verma – 2018-11-29T07:10:26.520
When people say "update" one major release to another major release, it's an upgrade or reinstallation. If you're fluent in Linux, you can upgrade, but it isn't always a clean, simple process because of how much changes between major releases. I'm also not sure if upgrading replaces all of the configuration files, especially user files like the .d files. Reinstalling is safer and cleaner because you're starting with a fresh setup, with everything set to the distro defaults. – fixer1234 – 2018-11-29T07:24:49.810
