How to Upgrade Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa right now via Debian way

You are supposed to change the /etc/apt/sources.list file and replace the name of your previous release. On 18.04.4 replace every instance of bionic with focal.  Just run simple 'sed' command performing replacement. 
  $ sudo sed -i 's/bionic/focal/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
Folder /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ in my case is empty, thus no replacements are required here

*Ubuntu Update and Ubuntu Upgrade*

Go ahead with Ubuntu dist upgrade, having the apt sources updated, run the Ubuntu upgrade.
  $ sudo apt update && sudo apt -y dist-upgrade
The upgrade might take a while. All packages on the system will be upgraded. When the Ubuntu upgrade appears to be done, reboot the systemWhen the system comes back up, run `hostnamectl` to make sure you are getting output like this

boris@boris-Standard-PC-4790:~$ hostnamectl
   Static hostname: boris-Standard-PC-4790
         Icon name: computer-vm
           Chassis: vm
        Machine ID: d5fdf2547e3942a9bd543303c92fcf30
           Boot ID: 3988bc0010dc486193305adea7d005ef
    Virtualization: kvm
  Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
            Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-26-generic
      Architecture: x86-64



  Now verify 20.04 functionality via deployment Debian 10.3 KVM guest



   Right after KVM setup deploy Debian 10.3 guest


   Per my personal experience you might experience minor issues (on bare metal) dual booting Ubuntu instance with instance CentOS 8.X on the same box
  Post upgrade snapshot on bare metal ( Penryn's box has been 
  selected specially due to outdated CPU ) 



   Standard Ubuntu's upgrade works as follows
   $ sudo apt update 
   $ sudo apt upgrade
   $ sudo apt dist-upgrade
   $ sudo do-release-upgrade -d

  
    Before running `sudo do-release-upgrade -d` make sure
