I have LineageOS for MicroG 22.2 on my phone. I have also rooted my phone using Magisk.

I want to update my LineageOS version (newer build of 22.2, not to 23), and I want to confirm that the process I plan to take would be correct.

I know to uninstall Magisk, then install the update without rebooting, then install Magisk to the inactive slot.
Since I'm not using MindTheGapps, I'm pretty sure I don't need to reboot into recovery to sideload anything. Therefore, I can just reboot as normal.

For LineageOS for MicroG, is this all I need to do or am I missing something?

This method is to preserve root after updating instead of having to reflash it again.

TIL. Will have to look it up for future updates. Preserving root is really the only drawback of updating LOS/mG.
