With the migration tool, I want to confirm that I must keep the nvidia repo enabled. I ran it first with --dry-run, and I can see it wants to disable almost all of the repos, including the nvidia repo. My intuition is to keep the Nvidia repo enabled and the others disabled as recommended. Is this the right thing to do?
Is it safe to keep the packman repo enabled as well, or is it best to re-enabled after the update?
Thanks
In both cases, no. You need to adapt the URLs for these repos to point at 16.0
What’s going to happen to my Nvidia drivers then? Will it uninstall them and install generic drivers, or will it leave them alone?
I want to make sure I have graphics on the reboot.
Read the release notes:
Section 2.3.1 re nomodeset boot option.
Sorry, can’t help you there. Haven’t dealt with NVIDIA in quite some years
Thanks. I’ll cross my fingers and hope I don’t have to resort to boot options.
I would just get a new drive, put an image of you current 15.6 on it, and then update that. Not a fan of 16 new installer, it has failed me since Alpha. I’ll pass on it for now and stay on 15.6 and Tumble .
me too on 15.6, how about on when do you think to pass to 16?
I’m going to hold off for a bit. When I do attempt to update using the migration tool, I will download 16.0 to a USB drive, as a backup, and perform a fresh install if anything goes awry: my important data is on a separate disk from the OS.
@ccin1492 Make sure you backup that important data too 
Make sure on the Storage page you read AND understand what it’s saying it’s going to do!!!
Good advice. Thanks.
